The Holy Quran we have in our hands today, was compiled by Usman Ibn Affan (i.e., known as Sahifa e Usmaniya), can one characterise its Verses like the way Ahadith are characterised? However, we disregard Ilmul Rijal here and turn to Ahadith in the interpretation of Quranic Verses, which is a correct approach as per Ahadith. So why would one not adhere to the criteria given in Ahadith for establishing the authenticity of Ahadith?

From the above cited Ahadith, if one applies Ilmul Rijal on Ahadith, Ibn Abbas \u2013 who was declared corrupt by Amir Al-Momineen Imam Ali -asws \u2013 is treated as a trustworthy Ahadith narrator, whereas two Imams -asws (the 4 th and 6 th ) had accepted the Kitab Sulym bin Qais Hilali; but when the flawed tool of Ilmul Rijal is applied, \u2018Abaan\u2019 (the main transmitter of the book) is considered unreliable and hence doubts are casted regarding the authenticity of the first Shia book.

\n The origin of the Ilmul Rijal: \n The origin of Ilmul Rijal can be traced from the \u2018 Tafseer Bil Ra’yi\u2019 (interpretation by opinion), of the following Quranic Verse: \n \u064a\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064f\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u062c\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0641\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0650\u0642\u064c \u0628\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0625\u064d \u0641\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u062a\u064f\u0635\u0650\u064a\u0628\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0642\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u062c\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e\u0629\u064d \u0641\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0635\u0652\u0628\u0650\u062d\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u062a\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0646\u064e\u0627\u062f\u0650\u0645\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e {649:} \n O you who believe!
