== Criticisms ==

:"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)."

:"[[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. "
