As the second source for understanding religion after the Qurʾān, the Ḥadīth holds particular significance in the comprehension of Islamic doctrines. Among these, the mutawātir ḥadīth (a report of mass transmission) occupies a prominent position in theological (Kalām) discussions due to its absolute authority (ḥujjiyyah) and its capacity to confer definitive knowledge. Furthermore, the utilization of shared and methodologically sound principles is a fundamental component of substantiating claims in theological dialogues. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology and based on library research, this study investigates the methods used by Imāmī theologians (mutakallimūn) to prove the tawātur of traditions concerning the Imamate (imāmah). The findings indicate that Imāmī theologians have utilized five principal methods to establish tawātur: Principle-Based Tawātur (based on the foundational principles of ḥadīth sciences), Transmission-Based Tawātur (based on works that compile the various chains of transmission—ṭuruq—of a ḥadīth), Confessional Tawātur (established through the acknowledgment of a tradition's authenticity by theological opponents), Criterion-Based Tawātur (which involves defining specific criteria for tawātur and demonstrating that the traditions meet them), and Collective Tawātur (proven by collating the chains of transmission from diverse Islamic and inter-sectarian sources). These methodologies provide a methodologically sound and effective framework for utilization and argumentation (iḥtijāj) in theological dialogues concerning the Imamate, which can be highly influential in advancing innovation within the field of Kalām.
