Criticizing and evaluating hadiths has been Moslem scholars' permanent method, notably Shia's scholars, in order to ascertain the Hadith been issued by the infallibles. Sheikh Horr al-A'meli is one of these scholars. In regard to controversial traditions, He has examined the tradition's text and chain of narrators and mentioned its weakness, generally relying on Sheikh Tusi's assesments. Nevertheless he has never realized his final judgment about a hadith depending on its weakness of text or chain of narrators. His endeavor in justifying these controversial traditions and verifying the authenticity of the traditions on both sides of this controversy is fully evident. In order to reach his objective, he employs different means and considers every possible probability and avoid deny the authority of a hadith.
