Overview

A narrator is a person who plays a role in narrating a hadith, which is also known as a tradition, or story. The character and criteria of a narrator of hadith have a significant impact on the content of their tradition. Al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta'dīl's pointed out that the most serious integrity crisis concerning Shia narrators is that they are branded as liars, which has happened to several main narrators of the Shia books. This paper aims to discuss the status of the main Shia narrators who have been accused of lying by their own al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta'dīl priests and scholars. This paper selected Zurārah bin A'yan as the primary narrator for study, and analyses his narrations in the book of al-Kāfī as the sample. The method applied in this study is qualitative, based on the content analysis method. The obtained data obtained was then conceptually and relationally analysed. It was found that secular scholars have called the major narrators of Shia throughout the flow of history liars, including Zurārah bin A'yan. In conclusion, many historical narratives such as those found in the majority of Shiite scriptures, such as al-Kāfī, have had their authenticity questioned and doubted, thus eroding the credibility of the Shia.
