Abstract
According to Islam, intellect has an especially high status and is considered as one of the two divine proofs for humans, since it can provide them the best guidance in different affairs. On the other hand, Hadith is the second source used in the Islamic theology. So correct understanding of its content and meaning has an important role in attaining accurate teachings of the religion. In the article at hand, the status of intellect from the viewpoint of Islam and hadith scholars is specified and then, the role of reason in understanding the meaning of hadith will be discussed. Findings of this research which have done by descriptive-analytical method reveal that the intellectual information elucidates the meaning of many hadiths and assists researchers to better understanding of the hadiths. Besides, it helps us to generalize the significations of the hadiths to similar instances and shows to the Hadith researcher the properties of the hadiths and their different implications.
