Generally in every science and particularly in hadith, research is done with two approaches:
1. Theoretical approach which deals with formulation and demonstration of principles of science.
2. Practical approach which is concerned with its outcomes.
However, lack of knowledge concerning the nature and domain of these two approaches _especially theoretical approach_ or ignoring its principles will cause deviation from moderation in criticism, exegesis, or/and defense of hadith; and also disregarding the legal and logical principles of hadith scholarship; and finally will result in some deficiency such as: rejecting or denying and/or showing violence to a section of Infallible Imams heritage, and regarding some unreliable traditions, in the field of theology, as reliable.

Narrative Tafsir at a Glance

Commentary on the words and expressions used in the Quran began at the time of the first revelation. The Prophet himself undertook the teaching of the Quran and the explanation of its meanings and intent.
There are three roads open to us when making commentary upon the Quran. Firstly, by using knowledge that one already possesses. Secondly, with the help of the sayings of the Prophet or Imams. Thirdly, by using a combination of methods: by reflection and analysis, or by allowing the verses to become clarified by comparing it to other verses, or by use of the sayings of the Prophet and Imams, whenever possible. The second way is the main concern of this paper.
Extremism is another issue which is discussed in this paper and the author has rendered some solution for it.
