documentation and acceptable evidence concerning its use in bibliographic sources. Searching for the evidence contained in Najashi’s Fihrist and scattered narratives from the missing books called "nuskha" of hadith scholars that such work has attributed to them, the author of the present paper tries to render a viable definition of the term. He also examines the "Sahifah al-Imam al-Reza (peace be upon him)", and "Musnad al-Imam al-Reza (peace be upon him), " as the two remaining examples of "nuskha".

A Study on Prohibition of Teaching Chapter Yusuf to Women

Rahima Shamshiri

Sayyed Kazem Tabatabaee

In some old Shia hadith exegetical sources, hadiths are found which imply the avoidance of teaching and reciting Surah Yusuf to women. Literal meaning of these hadiths makes us dubious about reciting and teaching the best story of the Holy Qur'an to women. In this paper, following the collection of existing traditions and evaluating their chain of documents in hadith sources, the author tries to display the conflict of resulting uncertainties with muhkam (firm) verses of the Qur'an and some related hadiths. Regardless of the lack of reliable chain of documents for such traditions, the content of these hadiths can be somehow justified based on the muhkam (firm) verses of the Qur'an.

Key Words: Surah Yusuf (Chapter 12 of the Holy Quran), Teaching to Women, Prohibiting Traditions, Document Criticism, Content Criticism.
