During a meeting between the president and members of the Secretariat of the International Congress Commemorating Allamah Mir Hamed Hussain and Ayatollah Abolqasem Alidoost, a report was presented on the progress of reviving 70 volumes of the heritage of the Lucknow scholarly school, preserving the documents of the Nasiriyya Library, and extracting the theological methodology of the author of Abaqat al-Anwar. The distinguished professor of the Qom Seminary also referred to the enduring impact of text-centered conferences and emphasized the systematic analysis of the manner in which Allamah interacted with the hadith heritage, the observance of proper etiquette in criticism, and the avoidance of non-academic disputes in the contemporary context.

Researcher’s Introduction to the Revival of Hadith al-Wilayah in ʿAbaqāt al-Anwār

 Hadith al-Wilayah is the third hadith that ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dihlawī addressed in Chapter Seven of the book Tuḥfah-yi Ithnā ʿAshariyyah. Since this hadith is one of the explicit texts proving the immediate succession and Imamate of Amīr al-Muʾminīn (peace be upon him), he found no alternative but to deny and invalidate it.

A Brief Survey of the Ḥadīth of Ghadīr in ʿAbaqāt al‑Anwār

Despite the many discussions surrounding the Ḥadīth of Ghadīr throughout history, before the writing of ʿAbaqāt al‑Anwār one cannot find a work that has addressed all aspects of this ḥadīth in detail and responded to the various objections of the Sunnīs regarding its chain (isnād) and implication (dalāla). Indeed, the efforts of ʿAllāma Mīr Ḥāmid Ḥusayn al‑Hindī were not limited to responding to the objections of ʿAbd al‑ʿAzīz al‑Dehlawī; rather, by tracing the roots of the doubts, he used Dehlawī’s statements as a basis for presenting and critiquing the statements of earlier Sunnī scholars, leaving behind a comprehensive and solid work. May Allah have mercy upon him and grant him a good abode.
