A Critical Study of Correctness of "Hadith al-Kisa" by Content Analysis Method

The incident of Kisa mentioned in two ways: a famous hadith in Mafatih Al-Jannan and the narrations of the Imams and companions in the Shi'a and Sunni hadiths. This paper tries to examine the validity of the famous Hadith ofKisa according to its contents by using content analysis method. The method of content analysis is a methodological mechanism in the analysis of texts in different fields. It aims at questioning the documents and texts in order to understand their contents and their apparent and implicit connotations by classifying the objective semantics within the main categories, subcategories or categorical statements. Extracting the main themes in each of the two categories makes it clear that the famous narrative is individual in terms, while the correlation between the contents of the traditions of the Imams and the companions is very high.In addition, the comparison between the purpose of Hadith - the introduction of "Ahl al-Bayt" in Tathir verse with regard to the issuance of narration and descent- and the themes contained in each of the two categories indicates that the themes of the non-famous narratives are suited to the purpose of the narration. While there is no correlation between the concepts of the famous narrative and the goal.
