Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1

Abstract

According to Shia, ashâb al-ijma (a group of Shii transmitters that a consensus occurred on their trustworthiness) are those who are from the companions of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (d.114 /733), Ja'far al-Sadiq (d.148/765), Mūsa al-Kaẓim (d.183/799), and his son Ali al- Riḍa (d.203 /818). Ashab al-ijma are three groups consisting of six people, and each group includes six transmitters, total is eighteen transmitters. These are also the leading transmitters of the canonic hadith sources of Shia, particularly ahqam (judicial) hadiths, and the chains of hadiths based on them are accepted as an authentic according to the principle i.e. "tashihu mâ yasihhu anhum" which was formulated by prominent Shii scholars. However, although it is mentioned as a consensus on this issue, there is no complete agreement among Imami scholars on the exact number of ashâb al-ijma and what this phrase means exactly. Therefore, in this article, first of all, it will be studied who are ashâb al-ijma and the controversies on this subject by referring to the basic sources on biography (rijâl) books called al-usūl al-arbiatu al-rijaliyya, and the books of hadith methodology. Essentially, it is aimed to evaluate the reasons why ashâb al-ijma are regarded as reliable and the isnads in which a transmitter from ashâb al-ijma takes place are considered as acceptable depending on their reliability.
