Abstract

Al-Kafi because of its authenticity, the reliability of the author, antiquity of the
book and closeness to the Imams times has been considered by Imami traditionists
and other scholars who have written many explanation books. While, scholars have
paid attention to the Kulayni clarification on the narrations on his book rarely. In
addition to classification of narrations he tried to explain and clarify difficult hadiths.
Kulayni has used different methods for clarifications of narrations including: taking
advantage of the Qur’an, theology, history, philology, Arabic poetry and other
transmitter explanations regarding the concept of the hadith. All these methods was
applied by Kulayni in order to clarification of the complex word, elimination of
the confliction and justification of the opposition of the text with consensus of the
Imami scientist.
