Abstract :
Religious teachings include many "news" and "conditional news" sentences that promise "results" or "punishments" to believers or non-believers. Since the lack of practical results of the truth of these punishments can be effective in the daily lives of Muslims and even non-Muslims and cause the strengthening or weakening of the foundations of religious beliefs or the promotion and condemnation of religion, it is necessary to remove these teachings from It was evaluated in every possible way. If religious propositions can be experienced, they can and even should be experienced, and if they are not true in the experimental test, the truth of that proposition can be disproved based on experience. Therefore, experience can prove or disprove some religious propositions (at least on a case-by-case basis and by accepting general rules); And remove religious teachings from myths and superstitions. It seems that this new way (i.e. experimental test), apart from the theoretical investigations of hadiths and hadiths, is a suitable tool for the practical examination of the authenticity of hadiths and hadiths
