Therefore, disregarding these apparent differences is among the pathology of hadith research.

Paying attention to the style of expression of the Infallibles (peace be upon them) can also resolve some of the differences and contradictions of the narrations. The main question of the research is that what effect does the hadith expression method of the Infallible (AS) have on resolving the apparent differences of the narrations? In this article, it was shown that paying attention to the two styles of "fatwa" and "teaching" in the expression of Imam (AS) in the form of issuing a ruling and the type of addressee will be effective in resolving the apparent differences between the narrations. The method of education belongs to the jurists and muftis of the companions. Considering the gradual nature of the explanation of the sentence, changing the sentence due to abrogation and being free to choose any of the sentences expressed in the style of education will resolve the conflict. In the style of fatwas, the addressee of Imam (AS) is people who refer to the Imam to ask detailed and personal questions.
