Abstract
The Al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya is a significant compilation of supplications prepared by Imam al-Sajjād ('a) in the first century A.H, and it has been preserved by esteemed Shiite and Sunni scholars for centuries. Today, it is widely recognized among the public as the renowned Sahifa. However, a primary concern within Sunni communities is the lack of confidence in certain narrators, such as Abu al-Mufadl al-Shaybani and Ibn Akhiya Tahir al-Alawi, who were regarded as forgers during parts of their lives. This has led some Sunni scholars to question the authenticity of the attribution of the Al-Ṣaḥīfa to Imam al-Sajjād ('a), resulting in public apprehension. Consequently, the main objective of this article is to examine the authenticity of the attribution of this book to Imam al-Sajjād (‘a) by validating the documents, narrators, and existing manuscripts of the al-Sajjād. This study employs a descriptive-analytical and critical approach, referencing primary Shiite and Sunni texts. The findings of the research indicate that.
