After writing his ''Tahdhib'', al-Shaykh al-Tusi wrote ''[[al-Istibsar]]'' concerning apparently contradictory hadiths, whose parts and organization are very similar to ''Tahdhib''. All hadiths in ''al-Istibsar'' are also cited in ''Tahdhib'', though their chains of narrations are sometimes different; for example, in the first volume of ''al-Istibsar'', there are over 200 hadiths whose chains of narrations in ''Tahdhib'' are complete, but are partially mentioned in ''al-Istibsar''. On the contrary, in 80 hadiths, only ''al-Istibsar'' contains complete chains of narrations. | After writing his ''Tahdhib'', [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] wrote ''[[al-Istibsar]]'' concerning apparently contradictory hadiths, whose parts and organization are very similar to ''Tahdhib''.

In the first volume of ''Tahdhib'' most hadiths are cited through [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], but in ''al-Istibsar'', other masters are also cited, and the way through a person other than al-Shaykh al-Mufid is preferred if it has some advantages such as shorter chains of narrations or a greater number of narrators. | In the first volume of ''Tahdhib'' most hadiths are cited through [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], but in ''al-Istibsar'', other masters are also cited, and the way through a person other than al-Shaykh al-Mufid is preferred if it has some advantages such as shorter chains of narrations or a greater number of narrators. | ||
