Abstract :
Ibn al-Ghazāirī's book, titled al-Ḍu'afā, has always been the subject of controversy in terms of its validity, influence, and its different hadithic and jurisprudential views stemmed from it .This was the motivation for the present study and, in an analytical-historical way, explaining different views about the book, and the evaluating the rate of Ibn al-Ghazāirī’s reliability, this question was explored that to some extent this figure was trustworthy among the Rijāl scholars since the fifth century. This research found that ibn al-Ghazāirī's mistrusting is in conflict with the credentials given to him by the renowned scholars, and this claim that he was excessive in mistrusting the trustworthy transmitters was not confirmed. It was also revealed that Ibn al-Ghazāirī had judged the Hadith narrators by correct criteria. Research has shown that from the 5th century onwards, scholars such as Najāshī, ‘Alāmmah Ḥillī, and Ibn Dāwūd Ḥillī, and later scholars such as Muhammad Tunikābunī, Muhammad Taqi Shūshtarī, and Abdul Hādī Faḍlī and Khānsārī, have trusted Ibn al-Ghazāirī and have been influenced by his sayings.
