I found this article quite interesting...I would appreciate members comments and refutations if the claim is untrue.Jazkallah KhairImam Al-Kulayni is to the Shia what Imam Bukhari is to the Sunni. Imam Al-Kulayni is one of the most respected figures in Shiism and he is referred to as Thiqat al-Islam which translates to the Trust of Islam. His book, Al-Kafi, is referred to as Hujjat of Islam (...

what the author says is enough , and refering to the hadith saying that you have to compare them to quran , and deeming it as authentic is enough to get to the conclusion that the book is not completely authentic al kafi is mostly unauthentic as agreed by most of the scholars today... and al kafi translates to being enough so lets ask this question is al kafi the last one to be put together among...

The problem with the followers of any faith is that they look at other faiths with the eyes of their own faith. Since our Sunni brothers have a belief that all the hadith in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are 100% authantic without exception...........they expect other schools to also have similar belief in their books.

Shias do not hold any book as 100% authentic except the Holy Quran.The Prophet left us only two things: Quran and His Family.This post has been edited by malik: Today, 09:30 AM

It's important to note that hadith are classified according to the soundness of their chain of narrators. If a hadith is labeled as weak, it does not necessarily mean its fabricated.
