Historical Analyzing the Hadith about "condemnation of the crazy" in the Ḥadīqat al-Shīʿa

This paper deals with one of the unique narrations of the book "Ḥadīqat al-Shīʿa" which is about "condemnation of the crazy". The hadith has been narrated by Imam Ḥasan al-Askarī(AS) and attributed to Alī ibn Bābiwayh's Qurb al-Isnād. However, there are many ambiguities about its claimed isnad and text. There is no relationship between this narration and its attributed circumstances. On the other hand, the collected data regarding the situation in which Ḥadīqat al-Shīʿa was created show that it is consistent completely with the minor and real events of that historical condition. Accordingly, it is possible to analyze this narration exactly from a historical point of view. Also. By pursuing and expanding this idea, interesting information can be obtained about the origin of this hadith, as well as the manner of creating Ḥadīqat al-Shīʿa, and its author. The findings show that the creation of this narration is related to Sayyid Muhammad Mīrluhī Sabziwārī's disputes with Sufis in the 11th century.
