For this purpose, first the validity of the document of this hadith has been explored. In the next step, the extent of the implication of this hadith on the principled approach to the rule of tolerance in non-mandatory rulings has been explained and criticized. Then, the scholars' perceptions of this narration have been examined in a theological approach.
