روايات التفويض عند الشيعة | السيد كمال الحيدري

The Islamic scholar and thinker, Ayatollah Sayyid Kamal al-Haydari, Lesson Title: The Prophetic Sunnah: Its Status, Authority, and Categories (51) Our master, in conclusion, what can be learned from the verses and narrations? Regardless of what we believe, let's set aside our current beliefs and consider the implications of the verses and narrations. According to the texts transmitted from the Imams (peace be upon them), there is a topic on which there is significant disagreement among the scholars of the Ahlulbayt school, namely, the concept of delegation to the Prophet and the Imams. Firstly, are these narrations authentic or not? That is, in terms of their chain of transmission. Secondly, if they are authentic in terms of their chain of transmission, what is meant by delegation? What was delegated to them? Although they, the Imams (peace be upon them), vehemently denied the concept of delegation, stating that there is neither compulsion nor delegation, a group of prominent Imami scholars have said that these narrations are mutawatir (massively transmitted). Now, even if they are not mutawatir, one of the most important pillars of the Ahlul-Bayt school is the denial of delegation. There is neither compulsion nor delegation. So, how can the Imams (peace be upon them) say on one hand that there is neither compulsion nor delegation, and on the other hand that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) delegated the matter to them? What is meant by these narrations? Indeed, my advice to you, brothers who are searching for this valuable treatise on the narrations of delegation, is that you can look for similar narrations in Sunni sources, namely that the Prophet delegated the matter to them. Certainly, there are no narrations of delegation to the Imams of the Ahlul-Bayt. This is accepted there, but did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) delegate the matter? Does this terminology exist in Sunni sources, or not? Regarding the narrations mentioned in this context, I am referring to the sources and chains of transmission of these narrations. If God grants us success, we will examine the content of these narrations. The first source: It is found in Usul al-Kafi, Kitab al-Hujjah, chapter on delegation to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and to the Imams in matters of religion. Therefore, al-Kulayni is fully aware of this so as not to fall into the problem of denying delegation, which is neither compulsion nor direct delegation. He qualifies delegation here in matters of religion so that he, a learned, jurist, expert, and trustworthy scholar of Islam, al-Kulayni, not merely a hadith scholar, can tell us that those narrations of neither compulsion nor delegation are related to the world of creation, while this one is related to the world of legislation and religion. This is because one narration negates something in one area, while another affirms something in another. Therefore, there is no contradiction between them. One narration says there is neither compulsion nor delegation in matters of creation, at least in human actions, while the other says delegation in matters of legislation. Now, is delegation in matters of legislation reasonable? Or is it not reasonable that this research must be included in the text? In this section, ten narrations are mentioned, and 52 narrations are quoted in this field from this book, which is the Dar al-Hadith Research Center. We come to Bihar al-Anwar, Volume 17, according to this, published by the Wafa Foundation, according to Chapter 13 of the History of Our Prophet, the chapter on the Obligation of Obeying and Loving Him and Entrusting the Religion to Him. There, he refers to some verses, and then he quotes narrations from narration number one to narration number 29. So, in that chapter, there is also a group of narrations. This is the second source. The third source: is what is mentioned in Basair al-Darajat by al-Saffar, who died in 290 AH. We discussed this book in detail in previous research. He has three chapters on this issue, the issue of entrusting the responsibility to God. This is what I am saying to anyone who wants to write a treatise.
