Abstract

The common link in the documents of the collection of hadiths is a circle of many scholars, and therefore there is fragmentation and branching after his name in the earlier part of references. In this article, a methodical model is used to retrieve the sources of hadiths based on the function of the common link in the references. Some points are also presented to deepen the discussions, and a group of the most frequent Al-Kafi references is analyzed, from Mohammad bin Yahya, Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Isa Ash'ari, Hassan bin Mahboob, Ali bin Riab, to Ziyad Abu Ubaidah al-Huza. The aim of this research is to retrieve and identify some clinical sources in Al-Kafi and to show the necessity of paying attention to the later part of the references and prominent narrators of hadiths. Also, the categories in the earlier part of the references and narration elders are examined, and the need is emphasized to pay attention to the ratio of the works of each class of the narrators as well as the works of their elders in line with the recovery of sources.
