An Introduction to Shaykh Tusi's Method and Its Functional Role
Fihrist of Najjashi and Fihrist of Shaykh Tusi are the Precious treasuries which Provide us with valuable information about Shiite hadith collections and asls. The current method used by hadith scholars while transmitting hadiths from these books is to join their sanads to the chain of authorities of the related hadiths in these books. That is way Najjashi and Shaykh Tusi have cited their tariqs and sanads (chain of transmitters) uP to books and works of hadith transmitters.

To solve these Problems، the author of the Present PaPer suggests the utilization of Shaykh's tariq in his book Al-Fihrist.
