A research to recognize some of the unknown Shiite narrators in the two first Hijri centuries

Before compilation and writing the Prophet life by Ibn-Hisham (dead 206 or 213 H), some of Shiites or attributed to Shiite narrators during the two first Hijri centuries were less known and their narrations have been forgotten. Thus, the writer in this article tries to search in old sources to report their important narrations which are mostly related to incidents of the beginning of Islam and the virtues of the Prophet family. Findings of this study indicate that historians and Akhbārīs have reckoned some of these unknown narrators as Shiites or inclined to Shiite. This article has been written according to the descriptive method and has tried to investigate and cite old Arabic sources which are trusted by the Sunnies by maintaining scientific impartiality, and only in necessary cases, it has been cited to other narrative sources.
