Deterrence of Referral Culture from the Publication of the Hadith of Ghadir Relying on News from Abu Hanifa

Ghadir is the most central controversial issue of the Shiite and Sunni sects. Some works have been consistently compiled to refute, substantiate, or interpret and explain its content. Some Kufians' debate with Abu Hanifa about Ghadir is one of those conversations, first quoted by Ibn Oqdeh (334 AH) and then retold by Mofid (413 AH). Linking to other sciences with a scientific-analytical approach, this paper descriptively and analytically studies Abu Hanifa's commentary on Ghadir and deals with issues such as narrators of news, the content of the hadith, and its temporal proportionality with the intellectual currents of the society. The finding of this study, regardless of the documents deficiencies, is that after the killing of Osman, the community was heavily fueled. Accepting the first two caliphs, the first Murjiʾah remained silent against the positions of the next two caliphs. Abu Hanifa, on the basis of reference, analyzed the transmission of the Hadith of Ghadir as a factor in the spread of hostility of the groups and did not consider its publication to be in the public interest of that day.
