[[Sayyid Hashim al-Bahrani|Al-'Allama al-Bahrani]] has gathered many [[hadith]]s of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] in the book.

"This book will help you know about many secrets of the [[Qur'an]]. Some of the religious sciences, stories, life of [[prophet]]s and the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (a) will be understandable for you by this book. … I have gathered valid and trustworthy hadiths from [[hadith collections]] whose compilers are among authentic scholars. I have narrated most of the hadiths from [[Shi'a]] transmitters but in the case that [[Sunni]] hadiths were in correspondence with Shi'a's or in the case that a hadith of Sunnis was about the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (a), I used their hadiths as well. I also mentioned some hadiths from [[Ibn 'Abass]] in interpreting Qur'an because he was pupil of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. " | |||
His manner in this exegesis is as follows: first, he mentions the name of the [[Sura]], the place that it was revealed, virtue of the Sura and the number of the [[verse]]s. Then he refers to verses that have especial hadiths in explaining their content and discusses about those hadiths. | His manner in this exegesis is as follows: first, he mentions the name of the [[Sura]], the place that it was revealed, virtue of the Sura and the number of the [[verse]]s.

"Despite his ample efforts in al-Burhan exegesis, there are some unauthentic and distorted [[hadith]]s which convey ideas of exaggeration ([[al-Ghuluw]]). It is more likely that the author didn't mean to refine [[unauthentic hadith]]s or he meant but it wasn't enough. He has used the sources that are accused for being distorted and has narrated some hadiths that have unreliable [[chain of transmitters]] and incoherent content. So, it can be concluded that ''al-Burhan'' is a beneficial scholarly effort for researchers who are familiar with the texts and are knowledgeable about reliable and coherent hadiths and are able to differentiate between authentic and unauthentic hadiths. The fact that this book contains some unauthentic hadiths doesn't mean that it is a worthless book but it is like ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]'' by [[al-'Allama al-Majlisi]] which has some unauthentic hadiths, but given this quality, it is a great work that is a huge help to Shiite library. However, gathering the hadiths is the first step and after that, the second step begins which is refinement the hadiths and differentiating the authentic and unauthentic narrations. The third step is to extract general rules and fundamentals of the interpretational approach of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. Without completing all the three steps, it is not possible to benefit from the interpretational hadiths of Ahl al-Bayt (a)." | |||
[[Ayatollah]] [[Muhammad Hadi Ma'rifat|Ma'rifat]] in his ''[[al-Tafsir wa al-mufassirun]]'' states: | [[Ayatollah]] [[Muhammad Hadi Ma'rifat|Ma'rifat]] in his ''[[al-Tafsir wa al-mufassirun]]'' states: | ||
"[[Al-Sayyid Hashim al-Bahrani]] is one of the accomplished [[Muhaddith|traditionalists]] who gathered hadiths. He didn't present any idea about the acceptance, rejection or compromise of the hadiths that are against reason or other narrations. " | |||
[[Sayyid Muhammad 'Ali Ayazi]]: | [[Sayyid Muhammad 'Ali Ayazi]]: | ||
"The author is one of the [[Akhbari]]s who believes that interpreting [[Qur'an]] is permissible only through the hadiths of Ahl al-Bayt (a) and interpretation through reasoning, [[ijtihad]] and spiritual taste is forbidden." | |||
