Bibliography

Thaqalain tradition is a famous and well-known tradition that is
reported by [both] Sunnites and Shiites. Hundreds of prominent narrators
have narrated this tradition. Some self-interested figures have
fabricated the tradition of adherence to Book (Quran) and Tradition
(Prophet's Tradition) [instead of Quran and Prophet's Progeny] as two
weighty things. This book studies this tradition and its reporters,
critically examines them and shows the truth to those who seek it.

===================

***In the Name of God the Beneficent the Merciful***

Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari quotes the Holy Prophet (s) as saying:

<blockquote dir="rtl">
  <p>
یا ایها الناس! انی ترکت فیکم ما ان اخذتم به لن تضلوا: کتاب هللا و
عترتی أهل بیتی
  </p>
</blockquote>

O’ people! I have left something (among you) to which if you hold fast,
you will never go astray: Allah’s Book and my progeny. [^1]
