Abstract

The discussion of the forgiveness of servants is only for the purpose of believing in God's knowledge of human actions, including the common narrations of the parties, which is included in the problem of hadith. The problem of these narrations arises from their apparent meaning, which tells about the servant's forgiveness without repentance and forgiveness, only because of his belief in God's knowledge of his actions. By analyzing the documents of these hadiths, paying attention to the issued and written origin of each hadith, validating the sources, analyzing the approaches of foreign scholars as well as paying attention to the traditions of the same family, it tries to describe the meaning aspects of this group of hadiths in a descriptive-analytical way. The result of this analysis is the achievement of a new theory along with the scholars' analysis, which is obtained by paying attention to the compilation and common theme of these narrations with the narrations of the "Remorse and Confession" chapters by Sheikh Kolaini and Sheikh Hor Ameli. From this point of view, in fact, the narrations that indicate the knowledge of forgiveness in terms of the mere belief in sufficiency will be considered as absolute narrations, which are excluded from the application of other separate theological evidences and related narrations, and are considered as the primary condition and one of the main requirements of forgiveness.
