اعتبار سنجی کتاب «ارشاد القلوب الى الصواب.

The book "'Irshᾱd al-Quloub ilᾱ al-Sawᾱb," by the great Shiite scholar Hassan bin Abi alHassan Muhammad Daylamῑ on ethics, contains sermons and advices from the Qur'an, Hadith and early scholars, which has been praised and concerned by Shiite scholars. Since the most important feature of the book is its warm, eloquent and effective expression in preaching and teaching, it seems that it can be a valuable source in the field of education. Accordingly, this paper mainly aims to evaluate its validity, based on the question: "What is the level of validity of its hadiths?" This research analyzes the book 'Irshᾱd al-Quloub based on the descriptive-analytical method. Findings reveal that, in addition to the author's pleasant talking method, hadiths of the book have been collected through the criterion of narrative fame. Also, due to some narrative weaknesses within the book, it ranks in the third place among Shiite books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
