Allama Majlisi and His Approach to Inconsistent Hadiths

The necessity of removing conflicts and inconsistencies among hadiths issued by Infallible Imams and its role in removing doubts and labels of deficiency and inefficiency from the face of Islam, has motivated some scholars to deal, in their works and under hadith scholarship discussions, with the methods of removing inconsistencies. Allama Mohammad Baqir Majlisi, in Bihar al-Anwar under his hadith scholarship explanations, comes up with some inconsistencies and tries to find solutions in order to remove them. His precision in verification of hadiths caused him not to reject inconsistent hadiths at first sight and look for different probabilities. In this way he has utilized theoretical solution as well as practical one that is he has mentioned some probabilities referring to scientific and reliable evidences and some times with lack of evidence he himself has found a solution for its justification.
