Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Leading The Ummah Chapter 22: The Events Of Thaqalain And Safinah The Holy Quran and the Prophet's Household are inseparable The narration of “Thaqalain”[^1] is one of the most frequently reported Islamic narrations narrated from the Prophet by scholars. Most profound documents will lead us to believe that this narration is authentic.

In order for the Sunnis to realize the authenticity of this document, we shall present here some of the Sunnite scholars’ statements related to this topic: “Munadi” says: “more than twenty of the Prophet's close followers have reported this narration from the Prophet”[^2]. Ibn Hajar Asqalani writes “the narration of Thaqalain has been reported by more than twenty sources”[^3].

Allamah Mir Hamid Husain, the great Shiite scholar, who died in the year 1306 of the lunar calendar, has extracted this narration from 502 books, all written by the Sunnite scholars. His research on the authenticity of this narration has been published in six volumes in Isfahan. Interested readers might refer to this valuable source.

What we have briefly reported here has been confirmed by both Shiite and Sunnite scholars. The reason for disagreements between these two groups concerns the form of the narrations that relies on the fact that the great prophet of Islam has used different interpretations concerning the irrevocable bonds between the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Household.
