حدیث‌پژوهی علامه موسوی سبزواری

Abd- o al- ‘Ala Moosavi Sabzevari is one of the famous contemporary narrators of traditions and scholars. He has precious works in different religious sciences. Amongst these works, Mawahib Al- Rahman fi Tafseer-i- Al- Quran has special status for in this book we can see Allamah’s views about traditions very well. Allamah believes that traditions interpret the Quran and for this reason he has relied on traditions to explain the meaning and determine the extension of the verses. In order to eliminate vagueness and remove contradictions from traditions, he uses methods such as: paying attention to word denotation, researching literal and metaphorical meaning and interpreting the traditions. The status of criticism in Allamah’s method of studying traditions shows that he does not trust the traditions opposing the Quran, prophetic tradition and the intellect. In the study of traditions, he does not consider correctness of document as a basis for accepting them. Considering the contents of traditions he expresses his definite opinion regarding this subject exactly and sometimes he gives judgment on disapproval of traditions and its pattern.
