Abstract

Shia Imams for the reason of social situations, had a plan for civilization as well as leading and guiding people of their own period and endeavored to bring up many students in order to eternize Islamic civilization. Imam Javad (AS) also for achieving such a goal brought up students whose some were from Iran. They were narrators of hadith and conveyers of Shia pure thoughts that remained many works and narrations about them. Many of these narrations are juridical and are found in Shia Four Books. This study answers following questions through library study and in an analytic-descriptive method:
1- How many companions of Imam Javad (AS) were more active in the field of Hadith and narration?
2- Do the Iranian companions of Imam Javad (AS) have works in the field of Shia Hadith?
3- How many narrations (directly or indirectly by Imam Javad(AS) or other Imams) are in the Four Books that narrated by Iranian companions of Imam Javad (AS)?
4- How many percent of the Four books narrations are narrated by the Iranian students of Imam Javad(AS)?
