Abstract

Ibn shahr Āshub (died in 588) in his book of Manaqib has mentioned fourteen traditions about the virtues of the People of the House and has maintained that the Sunnis have manipulated these traditions and have narrated the hadith in a way that the rights of the People of the House are violated. He has enumerated ten areas according to which the consensus of the sunnis formed to extinguish the divine light. The present paper is to investigate and criticize Ibn shahr Āshub's attitudes to prove that the mentioned items do not reflect the main attitudes of sunni opinions. Some of the cases which Ibn shahr Āshub has mentioned as the shortcomings of sunni's accounts have been quite common among Shiite hadith narrators. To cross-check and evaluate the validity of Ibn shahr Āshub's criticisms, his intended mentioned narrations have are to be compared with each other in the six-folded books of the Sunnis and six Shiite hadith books (the four books, Mahasen-e Barqi, and Basaeroddarajat) .
