The Method of Molla Morad Tafreshi for Understanding Hadiths in “Ta’liqeh Sajjadiyyeh”

“Ta’liqeh Sajjadiyyeh fi Sharheh Man Layahzaro al-Faqih” is a concise description written by Molla Morad Ali Khan Tafreshi on “Man Layahzaro al-Faqih”. Using the descriptive-analytic method, the present article seeks to examine the author's method in explaining and describing the hadiths as well as to find out his major approach in explaining the narrations of “Man Layahzaro al-Faqih”. The results revealed that the author has provided the concise description following the fegh al-hadithi (hadith appreciation) approach, and in doing so he has made use of lexical meanings; syntactic and literary points; Quranic verses and narrations having the same implications; the commentaries of the interpreters of the Quran, philologists and prominent authors; and Sheikh Saduq’s narrations and fatwas (jurisprudential decrees). Considering the author's presence at the beginning of the era when the seminary’s approach was changed from ijtihad and rationalism to Akhbari approach and bearing in mind his attitude towards accepting the validity and authority of morsal hadiths (hadiths one or more than one of whose transmitters are not known) of “Man Layahzaro al-Faqih” as well as his figh al-hadithi style in this book, we can conclude that he has a moderate approach in narrational school.
