Abstract:

            The studies on Shia’s understanding of the hadiths has tended to increase however, this is not a well-known field to the theologians in Turkey. It is necessary to make the efforts of Muslims in the historical process in the field of the hadiths apparent without discriminating against the groups in order to form a holistic view of hadith history. In this regard, translation of the works written by Shia and thought to make a contribution to the recognition of the studies is as important as academic research to be conducted directly on the Shia sources.             This study comprises of the translation of the part of a recently compiled book about hadith history, in which commentary activities of Shia in the context of hadith works are examined with their main lines. The text tries to provide answers to the questions about when those activities started, how they were conducted, and which works they focused on. It is clear that Shia's approach to the hadiths cannot be understood independently of the way it is interpreted. Therefore, the comprehensive literature in the Shia tradition is an important area waiting to be studied.
