This research has shown that the behaviors of Iranian culture in the first two centuries of Islam were widely reflected in this work and except for the cases of a number such as drinking wine, consumption of pork meat, games such as chess and backgammon are not limited by Islamic behavior and are not limited by specific elements such as the promotion of rituals and religious occasions such as Ghadīr holidays and the mourning of Imam Hosein (as), and in general, in other cultural and social aspects, there has been harmony and compatibility between the ancient culture of Iranians and the preaching culture of the Islamic religion or the two fields of Iranian and Islamic discourse.

3 - The Concept of Historicity and Its Role in the Issuance Causes of Conflicting Narratives
Behrooz Fadaei Rad Mohammad Nasehi Hosein Khoshdel MofradIssue 78 , Vol. 30 , Spring 2024The influence of historical conditions on the issuance of hadiths, throughout the history of the specialized use of hadiths, with titles such as reasons for issuing hadiths, authority for issuing hadiths, real and external cases, temporal and spatial requirements, has a MoreThe influence of historical conditions on the issuance of hadiths, throughout the history of the specialized use of hadiths, with titles such as reasons for issuing hadiths, authority for issuing hadiths, real and external cases, temporal and spatial requirements, has always been the focus of hadith scientists. However, despite the fact that one of the consequences of such an influence is the conflict in issuing hadiths; this topic has never been followed in a coherent way in hadith studies; and scholars of hadith sciences, when faced with the conflict of narratives, since they did not consider it to be authentic, they identified some causes as the causes of the conflict of narratives with the sole purpose of resolving the conflict. And although in the end they showed these causes completely, but they never investigated the root of their occurrence. Therefore, in this research, in addition to the practical explanation of the concept of historicity, its role in the causes of narratives conflict can be summarized in the four headings of rejection, perceptual conditions of the audience, and functional conditions of the audience; and it was found that the cause of these causes can be searched in the concept of history.

4 - Historical Analysis of al-Wasīlah Sermon and al-Ṭālūtīyah Sermon
Sayyed Mohammad Moosavinassab Mobarakeh Amidreza Akbari Asghar Montazerol GhaemIssue 78 , Vol. 30 , Spring 2024Al-Wasīlah Sermon and al-Ṭālūtīyah Sermon are two famous long sermons attributed to Imam Ali (as) in the Book al-Kāfī, which despite the strangeness of their isnads, no research has been done on their validation and rooting.

Therefore, the question of the article is to what extent do the isnads and textual evidences confirm the authenticity of the collection of these texts? According to the results of the research, the texts and isnāds of the main narrator of the two sermons, Mohammad ibn Ali ibn Maʿmar, have many strange things, and among other things, in these sermons, through unknown narrators, he narrates themes contrary to Sunni beliefs from the Sunni celebrities through the unknown narrators. In terms of language, both sermons contain late words from the first century. The inconsistency of the introduction of the account with the text of the sermon, the anachronism of the date of the sermon, the lack of connection and disconnection of many parts of the sermon are other problems of the al-Wasīlah Sermon, and to some extent it can be seen in the al-Ṭālūtīyah Sermon. The sermon texts are a combination of a collection narratives, only some of which were attributed to Imam Ali (as); the formation of the final structure of those two probably has a single root and it was around the lifetime of ibn Maʿmar.

5 - Dating of Surah Ṭāhā Based on the Concept of Emigration in the Story of Prophet Moses (as)
Fatemeh Sanei Davood Esmaili Amir Ahmad NejadIssue 78 , Vol. 30 , Spring 2024Surah Ṭāhā was revealed in Mecca according to the consensus of commentators and Qur’an scholars.

According to the lists of the order of revelation, Surah Ṭāhā was revealed after Surah Maryam, while other historical narrations and ijtihādi lists and some historical evidences state the priority of revelation of Surah Ṭāhā compared to Surah Maryam. In this article, after examining different viewpoints in this field and with a critical approach to the lists of the order of narrative descent, the verses of Surah Ṭāhā, especially the story of Prophet Moses (as), have been analyzed using the method of content analysis. Examining the historical sources and referring to the content of the Surah as the most accurate tool in dating shows that the story of Prophet Moses (as) and the part related to his emigration with the Israelites is related to the emigration of Muslims to Habasha indicates that this surah was revealed before the emigration to Habasha. In addition, the discovery of the connection between Surah Ṭāhā and the emigration of Muslims to Habasha played an effective role in evaluating the lists of the order of descent and is considered one of the important achievements of this research.

6 - 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 GharaviIssue 78 , Vol. 30 , Spring 2024There 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.

7 - Determining the Origin of the Assimilation of Jesus and Mahdi with the Dating of Narratives

According to Islamic sources and some non-Islamic references, the Prophet (pbuh) foretold the appearance of a Savior, although there are different perspectives on his identity. Some claim that the anticipated Savior foretold by the Prophet (pbuh) would not arise from within the Islamic community, but rather the return of Jesus Christ was prophesied. However, over the course of a continuous transformation, Muslims marginalized Jesus and replaced him with the familiar designation of Mahdi. One of the documents supporting this perspective is the narrative of al-Mahdi is Jesus son of Mary. The article seeks to investigate the claim of attributing this narrative to the Prophet (pbuh), and through various methods of historical dating, including exploration of the oldest sources and textual-authenticity analysis, it has been established that this belief was introduced by Hasan al-Basri in Basra at the end of the 1st century Hijri, and later disseminated through ascetics, often with a background in Christianity or familiarity with it. In the 2nd century, it was attributed to the Prophet (pbuh) by Mohammad ibn Khalid al-Jundi for further credibility, and it spread in lands such as Iraq, Egypt, Sham, Hejaz, and Palestine.

3 - The Concept of Girls’ “Wa’d” in the Quran and Pre-Islamic Culture

There are at least six different readings and interpretations for the word. The lexicographers referred to the three meanings of sound reflection on the earth, gravity, and covering. The derivation of the term from the three roots having the above-mentioned meanings for the Quranic meaning of a living girl buried is a point of contention. For the first time, Mu’tazilite commentators in the fourth century referred to the meaning of “gravity”; and the weight of soil buried on the body of a buried girl. The method of performing the rituals and throwing the girls in two ways was to dig holes and to cover the child with dirt, or to throw the girls into wells and deep pits. Through the study of the interpretations of the Middle Ages and the study of the style of burying the girls among Arabs, we came to the conclusion that the concept of ‘Wa’d’ has nothing to do with gravity and is derived from the same basic concept of sound reflection on earth; Because the Arab, when buried the girl, threw her into a pit or well, which made her cry and her sound was echoed in the heart of the earth.

4 - The Historical Authenticity of Kitāb al-Kāfi, Historical Pathology of Criticism

But in the current period, some have denied the authenticity of the existing versions of al-Kāfi; Accordingly, considering the very important position of al-Kāfi, this research answers the question, what evidence weakens or strengthens the authenticity of al-Kāfi? According to the results of this article, the very high compatibility of al-Kāfi isnāds with Tahdhīb, the abundance of al-Kāfi narration documents, the high attention given to it in different classes and the similarity of the narrations of the hadith books and Fihrists from Kulaini with the existing al-Kāfi are among the reasons for the authenticity of the al-Kāfi version. The criticisms on the authenticity of al-Kāfi are based on wrong foundations, which consider the authenticity of ancient books to be only dependent on the age of the manuscripts or the connection of the isnāds. On the other hand, incorrect perceptions about the comprehensiveness of the old sources, has caused them to think that the totality of al-Kāfi should be quoted in sources such as Tahdhīb. This research, while explaining the Defects of critics' reasons, has shown that they have neglected extensive evidence to prove the authenticity of al-Kāfi, as they have neglected the evidential aspects of their own documents, and have presented wrong analyses.

5 - Historical and Cultural Semantic Approaches to the Qur'anic Term of "Sabīl"

Due to different usages in the wide range of textual contexts, the term "Sabīl" has attracted the attention of Muslim lexicographers and exegetes. That's why the specialists in "al-Wujūh wa al-Naẓā'ir" have mentioned 14 meanings for "Sabīl" in the Holy Qur'an. However, Muslim scholars have had not any information about the process of meaning-formation of "Sabīl", its semantic components and the features of this type of way in the context of revelation. Applying historical and cultural semantic approaches, this study attempts to explain the accurate meaning of "Sabīl" at the time of revelation. According to this study, the homonymous root "SBL" has two different origins: on the one hand, the root is formed by adding the performative /S/ to the stem "BL", and on the other hand, it is formed by adding the affirmative /L/ to the stem "SB". Moreover, the present research proves that the term "Sabīl" had a couple of unique features in Qur'anic Arabic: (1) Private roads that were not definite, transparent and visible. (2) Roads which could not be passed through on without experienced guides. Manuscript profile -

In addit MoreAisha, the wife of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), is known as one of the most important transmitters of Hadith in terms of quantity, due to her long life with the Holy Prophet (PBUH), her great influence among the companions, and the meeting of many of her followers. In addition to narration, she also played a role in understanding and criticizing Hadith; To the extent that she was considered one of the serious critics of narrations. Aisha, who introduced herself as one of the most knowledgeable in the tradition of the Prophet (PBUH), also dealt with the pathology of narrations. Some of these refinements are related to the identity and totality of the Hadiths, which are called external criticism in textual criticism. This descriptive study deals with her efforts in this field; The one that was later categorized in the science of Hadith with the term Ja'l wa Waḍ' (forgery), and was also included in the discussions of the ‘Ilal al-Hadith (problems of Hadiths). Criticisms can be expressed in this classification: confronting the entry of Arab superstitions, confronting the myths of neighboring regions, confronting false citations, correcting narrations about religious rulings, as well as opposing narrations that could weaken the position of women in society. The result of the article, in addition to showing the role of Aisha in the critique of Hadith and her verbal and practical confrontation with the narrations that some of the companions quoted inappropriately from her point of view, can show the first rules in the field of Hadith criticism.

The author, introduces and expresses the derivatives of the wars mentioned in the Quran. Subsequently, issues such as the justification of war, the moral status of war, and the motives behind specific verses such as "seif" and "jizah" have been explored. "Crone" seeks to dispel doubts by understanding the apparent meaning of these verses of the Quean and conveys messages to her audiences .In the following article, it has been attempted to interpret phonemes based on the interpretive texts and rational foundations of these challenges. In the course of the research, it is found that there is a significant correlation between the reviews with another set of Leiden articles by other scholars from which it is interpreted as "consonant". The key question is: what is the consistency of crone's views with other interpretative texts and various views .The results are indicative of a confluence of doubts in areas such as the militancy of the verses of war and ambiguity and the contradictions in this verses with the views of orientalist, which has led to crone's inappropriate comments.

8 - Polysemy of the Words al-Waliyy and al-Mawlā in Quran

Muslim scholars have enumerated different meanings for each and have interpreted the related Quranic verses based on them. It seems, however, that there is some excessiveness in assigning these meanings and we can reduce the practical meanings of these words based on analyzing semantic components of their root. In addition, the most frequent meaning of these words implying guardianship and patronage on the one hand and obedience and submissiveness on the other, which has an important role in Quranic discourse, has not attained its deserving place in Quranic-lexicography literature and other Quranic scholarships. Furthermore, "Mawlā" has had various cultural senses in pre-Islamic era which should be taken into consideration when analyzing its meaning in some Quranic verses. The author has profited from certain semantic ideas in accomplishing this study and besides consulting lexicography literature, has not neglected the cultural senses of the terms in the Arabic culture contemporary with the advent of Islam.

In this article, we have shown that the recitation of Kasāī, narrated by Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyāsh, paves the way for understanding and interpreting this part of the verse. The emphasis of the narrators of this recitation on the fact that it is the same recitation of Imam Ali (as) shows that it is cited by the Ahl al-Bayt. Therefore, this reading, both in terms of document and semantics and its conformity with the verse, is preferable to the common reading, and the authority of this reading, from accepting the narrations, causes the false revelation of the Sunnis that the secret of the Prophet was announced by Abu Bakr and Omar knows, as well as the Shiite narrations, which were probably forged in contrast to the Sunni narrations and introduces the secret and the head of the Prophet (PBUH) as the guardianship of Imam Ali (AS), and removes the ambiguity in the verse.

One of the most influential elements in the meaning of the Quranic terms is their relation to each other in the text, especially the syntagmatic relations of the words. In this research, the focus of the "Ahl synthesis has been discussed. The "Ahl" syntheses are used only in the form of additional combinations in the Qur'an and, in terms of syntactic structure, have been synthesized with the appearance and the pronoun. Among the names of appearances, the term " Alktab " and the names of the places are most synthesized. Also, the names of the Prophets have the most synthesis as the reference to the pronouns associated with the Ahl. According to the Syntagmatic Relation of the meaning of "Ahl" in the four categories of categories, as well as the relation between "Ahl" and "Al". This research focuses on one of the components of semantics to explain the concept of the word "Ahl" and its semantic domain in the Qur'an. Manuscript profile
