Retrieving Sources of Narrations of “Amr Bin Jami” in Kafi of Koleyni and Evaluating Them

One of the narrators who has been greatly weakened among the scholars of Rijal is Amr bin Jami; Nevertheless, about twenty narrations from the innocents(as) have been narrated from him in Kafi of Koleyni. The problem of this research, which is organized in a descriptive-analytical form, is how these weak news entered the book of Kafi and also from which sources the narrations taken from Amr bin Jami in this collection of narratives were obtained. Due to the predominance of the written method of telling of hadith in Shia, the method of retrieving sources in this research is to refer to the methods of Najashi and Sheykh Tusi to the books of the Companions of the Imamiyyah and also to examine the texts of hadiths included in Kafi by Amr bin Jami. Through the investigation, it was found that his hadiths were quoted from about seven books in Kafi, and most of his hadiths are about religious and moral issues, and Koleyni narrated a few hadiths from him in the field of jurisprudential issues and rulings, which can indicate Koleynii's association with As'hab al-rejal opinions about Amr bin Jami.
