Abstract :
From the point of view of Muslims, after the Holy Quran, the hadiths of the Infallibles (AS) are the most important heritage of Islam. This precious treasure is considered by various Islamic sects, including Muslim mystics. Mystics have their own principles in dealing with hadith. In some cases, differences in their basis with the scholars of hadith have caused differences. So that sometimes mystics have been attributed to forging and distorting hadiths. It seems that the analysis of hadiths by mystics with accurate scientific methods paves the way for understanding their principles and rules in the face of hadiths. This study examines seven hadiths considered by Muslim mystics in 110 mystical sources. Attempts have been made to analyze these hadiths quantitatively and qualitatively using modern research methods. The findings of the research show that some mystical hadiths are more considered by mystics and citation of these hadiths is abundant in mystical sources.
