Co-ordination between the Assumptions Based on Dissimulation and the Preferred Remedial Narrations in the Approach of Sheikh Al-Tā̕ifah

One of the factors influencing the decrees of the contemporary jurists is to convey the narrations based on dissimulation (taqiyyah). This method can often be seen in the works of Sheikh Tousi. Using this method to remove the contradictory narrations was among his significant characteristics which did not have any precedence before his time and the two books namely Al-Tahdhīb and Al-Istibṣār fīmā ikhtalafa mina-l-akhbār are the certain examples of this claim. The present study, analyzing the method of Sheikh i.e. to convey the narrations based on dissimulation and focusing on the sequence of the mentioned preferences in the Maqbūlah of Umar Ibn Hanzalah based on the priority of the  justice of narrator, the popularity of narration, its agreement with the Book, and disagreement with the Sunnis ('Ammah) and scrutinizing three cases of his viewpoints as examples invalidates the Sheikh’s reasoning for conveying the narrations based on dissimulation and does not see any excuse for that.
