Received: 2021/5/28 | Accepted: 2021/10/7 It is of specific importance to study the validity of the religious narrations that may sometimes be accompanied by some changes or even distortions, which at the same time are about to express and identify the examples of Qur’anic verses. As a case study, the present article addresses the narrations that have been quoted in both Shi’ite and Sunni sources to identify the examples of (Q. 21:101). The mentioned narrations speak of those who have been promised good tidings of being kept away from the fire of Hell. Sunni sources have conveyed a single narration that ʿAlī b. Abī-Ṭālib (PBUH) has mentioned the third Caliph, Uthmān b. ʿAffān, or even other people, whose number in some sources reaches ten; a case that usually associates with ʿashara mubashshara (the ten promised ones). Nevertheless, Shi’ite sources have quoted Hadiths from the Holy Prophet (PBUH), according to which he has introduced ʿAlī (PBUH) and his true followers as the original examples of the verse in question. Sice in such conflicts, isnāds of the different narrations should be examined and evaluated, it seems that same way should be proceeded here. In the present case, Sunni narrations have weak isnāds, and from the textual point of view, they are in conflict with authentic narrations, as well as definite historical reports. However, the isnāds of Shi’ite narrations seem valid, and its content is confirmed by the authentic reports of the sources of both Sunni and Shi’ite schools. The present study has been carried out with the aim of helping to correctly identify the examples of the verse in question, after surveying the above-mentioned narrations from their original sources and with the necessary critical instruments.
