According to [[Bahr al-'Ulum]], with this book a scholar of fiqh does not usually need to refer to any other collection of hadiths; a feature lacked by the rest of the Four Books. [[Sayyid b. Tawus]] took [[al-Kafi]] and ''Tahdhib al-ahkam'' to be the greatest books in fiqh, and [['Allama al-Hilli]] took the book to be the origin of fiqh, which is, together with ''[[al-Muqni'a]]'', one of the greatest sources in fiqh. | According to [[Bahr al-'Ulum]], with this book a scholar of [[fiqh]] does not usually need to refer to any other collection of hadiths; a feature lacked by the rest of the Four Books.

In many parts or books of fiqh, al-Shaykh al-Tusi's views in ''Tahdhib'' have been considered as his [[fatwa]]s that are frequently cited and discussed. Some of his fatwas in this book are unique to him or are held by few other scholars. Sometimes his fatwas in this book or in ''[[al-Istibsar]]'' differ from his fatwas in the rest of his work in fiqh. | In many parts or books of fiqh, [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]]'s views in ''Tahdhib'' have been considered as his [[fatwa]]s that are frequently cited and discussed.

In addition to its contribution to fiqh, ''Tahdhib'' is also significant as a collection of [[hadiths]]. In addition to catalogues or bibliographies that have always mentioned the book, the subsequent works in hadiths have always cited the book. [[Ibn Tawus]] has very frequently cited the book in his work. [[Ibn Idris]] cited a selection of hadiths in ''Tahdhib'' at the end of his [[al-Sara'ir]]. | In addition to its contribution to fiqh, ''Tahdhib'' is also significant as a collection of [[hadiths]].

Some [[Akhbari]] scholars made an appeal to a remark by [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] in his ''[[al-'Udda fi usul al-fiqh]]'' and held that all hadiths in ''Tahdhib'' (as well as in the rest of the Four Books) are reliable. However, since al-Shaykh al-Tusi has made it explicit that some contradictory hadiths in his book are unreliable, the view was rejected by other scholars. | Some [[Akhbari]] scholars made an appeal to a remark by [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] in his ''[[al-'Udda fi usul al-fiqh]]'' and held that all hadiths in ''Tahdhib'' (as well as in the rest of the Four Books) are reliable.
