Dhikr" as cited in its two verses: Nahl: 43 and Anbiya’: 7. There are two major theories in the terminology of "Ahl al-Dhikr" among the scholars of the Quran. Some, citing the context of the verses, people of the Book and people of Knowledge and emphasized the theory of pagans as their examples. Some others relying on many Shi`a traditions and a few Sunni traditions in this regard have considered them as "Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet’s Household, may peace and blessings be upon them)". They have restricted it to this sense following the theme of these traditions. Meanwhile, some commentators have tried to bring together these two theories and present them in one. This research study aims at finding and evaluating the common themes of these two theories and presenting them in two levels of tanzil and ta’wil.
Key Words: Ahl al-Dhikr (People of Remembrance), Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), the Quran, the People of Book, the Prophets’ Moral Traits.

Verisimilitude of Traditions of Rijat Based on Bihar al-Anwar

Asghar Hadavi Kashani

Marzieh Razavi

Traditions of Rijat, derived from the book "Bihar al-Anwar", have been divided into several groups by their implications. Of 160 hadiths narrated by the late Majlisi, more than 50 hadiths have been selected by eliminating repetitive themes. Since most of them have been transmitted from the book "Mukhtasar Basair al-Darajat", written in the ninth century AH a few centuries before the book "Bihar al-Anwar", their documents have been reviewed in this paper. Survey results indicate that some of these hadiths can be found in reliable hadith books such as "al-Kafi" and "Man la Yahzaruh al-Faqih" along with their firm documents. The abundance of other hadiths shows that principle of rijat can be proved through their frequency, though we cannot speak firmly of the details of rijat. The authors of the present paper mention the names of the narrators of rijat hadiths in a table at the end of this paper based on "Mukhtasar Basair al-Darajat". Their character and intensity destroys the possibility of their collusion to transmit forged hadiths.
Key Words: Rijat, Hadith Evaluation, "Mukhtasar Basair al-Darajat".
