Abstract

In order to understand the history of developments and changes in Imamiyyah hadith, it is necessary to review the sources of the predecessors such as al-Rijal al-Najashi. One of the most influential Sheikhs of Najashi is Ibn Nuh Sirafi, who has chosen most of Qomi documents and scholars to transmit Toroq. His Qomi teachers, like Hasan bin Hamza Alavi, also learned their documents from Qom in the third and fourth centuries and brought them to Baghdad. Before this generation, in the 3rd century, Ali ibn Ibrahim Qomi and Ibn Bottah Qomi published some books on Companions of the Imams in Qom. They borrowed the indexes from Kufa. The influence of Ibn Nuh's Rijali data is evident in the two domains of "narrative" and "bibliography", each of which deals with judgments on narrators and their books. Sometimes judgment about the status of a narrator is confirmation or weakening, and sometimes it is evaluated through his book or its content. Most of the religious data are obtained by Najashi, in the presence of the teacher, in the form of listening and reading, and sometimes from a distance through writings, wills and wejada. Our findings showed that the vague title and Abul Abbas’s disagreement in al-Rijal al-Najashi are most likely attributable to Ibn Nuh.
