The Analysis and Examination of the Exegetic Hadiths about Abdullah Ibn Salam

According to the hadiths of ṣaḥābah or the companions of the prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) and of the Tabi’un (Arabic: ÇﻟﺘÜﺎﺑﻌﻮä “followers”) or the generation of Muslims and the opinion of the Quran exegetists, Ibn Salam who was the Jewish scholars and converted to Islam at the early of hijrah (migration) has been respected in 17 cases of the divine revelation of the holy Quran which they have been thought Shan-e-Nuzool (meaning occasions or circumstances of the revelation)in some cases and instances in some other cases. But these sayings from the different aspects such as the multiplicity of the verses of Shan-e-Nuzool for a situation, being Makki most of these revering verses and being Madani the faith of Ibn Salam with regarding the rejection of the exceptional verses, being stated some Islamic traditions by Ibn Salam himself and glorifying him beside Ka’ab al-Aḥbār, the limits of the exegetic hadiths of the companions and lack of the revering traditions for Ibn Salam by Infallibles’ (Ma‘sūmūn) cause to undermine these sayings. From the other side, the historical reports being adduced which denote the sovereignty attempts for establishing virtues for some persons who concurred with al-Khulafāʾ such as Ibn Salam for reducing the popularity (acceptability) of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.), the circumstance of these traditions were revealed after the holy prophet.
