Can We Trust Shia Hadith? [2/2] | Sayyid Ali Abu al-Hasan

In this video, the Sayyid continues to establish the historicity of the Imāmī hadith corpus, arguing that it was not a fabricated collection by later compilers but a genuine body of transmitted reports. Expanding on the previous discussion, he presents further proofs demonstrating the authenticity of this corpus. He examines how transmitted reports align with historical circumstances, how Shiʿa narrators preserved traditions even when they contradicted their own school of thought, and how meticulous narration practices among early scholars ensured reliability. He also highlights rational arguments, instances where the infallibles {s} directly verified narrations, and parallels between Imāmī and Ibāḍī traditions. By reinforcing the corpus’s authenticity, the Sayyid underscores that the presence of tawātur (mass-transmission) can be demonstrated when there is a proliferation of chains and reports in the corpus, rather than it being dismissed as a later fabrication. 00:00 Introduction and Review 11:52 Proof Eight: The Consistency Of Transmitted Reports With Historical Circumstances 20:22 Proof Nine: Shiʿa Narrating Reports Contrary To Their Own School Of Thought 26:24 Proof Ten: The Presence Of Multiple Indications Of Precision In Narration Among Our Scholars 37:16 Proof Eleven: A Rational Proof 41:00 Proof Twelve: The Presence Of Multiple Indications Of The Infallible {s} Validating Narrations 44:08 Proof Thirteen: The Consistency Of Imāmī Heritage With Ibāḍī Heritage 47:47 Proof Fourteen: What Is The Difference Between Shiʿa Transmission And That Of Non-Shiʿa Schools? 54:57 Further Details On The Second Proof From Part One Follow the Purified Truth: Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/purifiedtruth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepurifiedtruth/ Telegram: https://t.me/thepurifiedtruth
