       Hagiography has an important role in the jurisprudential deduction; it is the deduction backbone; the verbal evidences mostly depend on it, where the trust worth's narration   occupied the largest area. To obtain a reliable narration, it is necessary to test the narrator chain, so the narrator should be examined. For the Shi'ites, there are four principle books that deal with hagiography, they are the only basic books that are survived since the seventh century of Hegira. The lat expert jurists, starting with Ibn Tawoos and his two students Al- Hily and ibn Dawood till our current time, depend on these books.

        These four principle books are:- Min Ikhteyar Al- Kashi, Rijal Al- Najashi, Rijal Al-Toosy and Fahreset Al-Toosy. Another one is added to them which is Kitab Al-Dhua'faa for Ibn Al- Ghadha'iry where many scientists had suspected. As the first four books are reliable and agreed upon their documents, the researcher was interested in studying the fifth one where the author was the only one who had referred to the weak narrators, which indicates that those, who had not been mentioned by,  Ibn Al- Ghadha'iry are accepted for him with his rigidity in judging the narrators. This book had been studied by many of the early and late scholars, yet extracting or deducing the trustworthy according to an objective standard that depends on two famous figure in hagiography :- Al- Najashi and Al-Toosy,  in a separated research is un preceded attempt.
