Abstract

Qom Hadith School, as one of the most powerful schools of Imamiya, has been the focus of scholars for a long time. Studies in the field of Mahdism in this school are faced with shortcomings. Lack of a "school-oriented" approach, "lack of examination of the hadith characteristics of that era" about Mahdavi hadiths are among these shortcomings. Therefore, this article through a "descriptive-analytical" approach is trying to deal with this gap in studies before the era of Sadouq. Transferring the Mahdavi heritage of Ahl al-Bayt from other schools such as Kufa, by the resident and immigrating muhaddiths (scholars of hadiths) to Qom, is considered one of the most important features of this school. Strong adherence to texts and avoiding rationalism, confronting the transmission of exaggerated narratives, partial compliance with the inclusion of rare narratives in their hadith sources, dealing with weak narrators at a certain point in time by some of the elders of the Qom school are other privileges of this school. Being concerned about the current issues of the society regarding beliefs, especially the issue of Mahdism and the explanation of the narratives that are appropriate for its time, is another characteristic of the school of that era.
