        1 - Reflecting the differences between rationalist and narrative approaches in the analysis of the idea of al-Badā’ Reading the Two Commentaries of al-Kulayni's kitab al-Kāfī in the Safavid Era

        Thinkers have taken different approaches to religious narratives and propositions. Since each approach has different effects and consequences, it is necessary to examine them and to identify their different consequences. The two main approaches in dealing with religious narratives and propositions are the philosophical rationalist approach and the narrative approach. In this study, we want to use a comparative method to examine and implement Mulla Sadra’s approach as a representative of the school of philosophical rationalism and the Majlesi’s approach as the representative of the school of narrative about the concept of ‘Badā’’ in the book of Usul-e Kāfi. In this way, we want to gain a better understanding of each of these two approaches and to highlight their differences and distinctions. These two thinkers lived in the Safavid era, and their theoretical approaches indicate the intellectual confrontation between the two currents of rationalism and narrativeism in that period. The study hypothesis is that these two approaches differ in components such as how to explain religious teachings, how to expand the problem, how to be sure of expression or caution, and how to deal with confusing narratives. However, one can also see commonalities between the owners of the two approaches in confronting narratives; similarities such as avoiding the denial of narrations, relying on Ta’wil, and confronting narrations based on presuppositions.

        2 - The History of the Discipline “Tanāsub al-Āyāt” (The Verses Coherence)
        Atiye Akbari mohammad ali mahdavi rad Rouhollah Shahidi
        The Discipline of “Tanāsub al-Āyāt” was introduced as a science in the eighth century, and what is stated in the books of the Qur'anic sciences as the history of this science is focused on the works of this century and afterward in which they explicitly have More
        The Discipline of “Tanāsub al-Āyāt” was introduced as a science in the eighth century, and what is stated in the books of the Qur'anic sciences as the history of this science is focused on the works of this century and afterward in which they explicitly have mentioned the kinds of relation and connection between verses and suras. The present study aimed to answer the question that what was the reason of the proportion idea and what was the path of Muslim scholars to convert the proportion between the Quran’s verses and suras into a scientific concern? this idea is rooted in the area of the I’jāz of the Qur'an order and the concept of order from the third century. According to the commentators, the conversion of the relation between the words to the relation between the verses is the turning point of this path, which is seen in the Bāqilānī’s works. Then, in the fifth century, the introduction of a relativistic attitude to commentary books such as Sheikh Tusi's commentary, al-Tibyān, was also a ground for the knowledge proportion. Finally, in the sixth century, the intersection of the commentary science with the subject of the expressive I’jāz of the Qur'an, which was particularly raised in the interpretation of the Zamakhsharī, al-Kashāf, became the beginning of the growth and acquisition of this knowledge among commentators and scholars.

        3 - The method of discovering Tadlis and its motives in Islamic narrative relations; Example: Darqotni's narration from Jea'bi
        Mohammad Afi Khorasani Rouhollah Shahidi
        Tadlis has been one of the significant phenomena in the process of transmitting hadiths, and not paying attention to it will damage the validity of hadith Sanads. This phenomenon is rooted in the history of hadith and many narrators at different levels have committed it More
        Tadlis has been one of the significant phenomena in the process of transmitting hadiths, and not paying attention to it will damage the validity of hadith Sanads. This phenomenon is rooted in the history of hadith and many narrators at different levels have committed it. One of the important issues in studying this phenomenon is the method of discovering it in hadith Sanads as well as recognizing the motivations of narrators to do it. In this article, based on an objective example, this important issue has been addressed; This is an example of the Unusual names that Darqotni has used to name his master Muhammad ibn 'Umar Je'abi. A case-by-case analysis of each of these names first proved that they were all in fact refer to Ji'abi; Then the unusualness of these names about Ji'abi and, as a result, Darqotni's Tadlis in mentioning him was proved. In the end, various hypotheses were expressed in Darqotni's possible motives for the Tadlis, the most important of which was his suspicion of Ji'abi at the later period of his life, which may have been pretended not to narrate much from him by changing the method of naming Jiabi.

        4 - Narrative-Rijāli Personality of Mohammad ibn Isa ibn Ubaid with Emphasis on His Herritage in »Kashī's Rijāl«
        Kowsar  Yousefi Najaf Abadi Hosein  Sattar Rouhollah Shahidi Mohammad Hadi  Yousefi Gharavi
        There are no traces left of the Shia chain of narrators (Rijāl) before the 4th century before, and other than the titles of the books, there is no report of their contents. The thought of early Rijāli scholars recount the Rijāli evaluations taken from and influenced by More
        There are no traces left of the Shia chain of narrators (Rijāl) before the 4th century before, and other than the titles of the books, there is no report of their contents. The thought of early Rijāli scholars recount the Rijāli evaluations taken from and influenced by the Imams' opinions about the companions. Mohammad ibn Isa Ubaid is of influential textualist Rijālis whose al-Rijāl used to be a source for Mohammad ibn ʿUmar al-Kashī in authoring his Rijāl. This research is to come to an understanding of Ubaidi's Rijāli thought. Therefore, the criterion for reliance or weakness in the two general groups is complimentary or reproaching reactions of the Imam toward the narrator as well as the latter's characteristics, in each of which group there's a meaningful relationship with the type of the criteria. In disagreement points, it does not contain any weak Rijāli leaders (Mashāyīkh). It has preferred scientific relations to in-sectarian disagreements. Whatever is gathered here is an outcome of a geographical stretch of Iraqi school as well as the works of Fataḥīs, Ghulāt, Wāqifīs and weak and reliable narrators, also works unrelated with Rijāl such as Nawādir.
