Legacy

I removed the Legacy section, it's misleading and unreferenced. The Khoi cite claims that Sunnis narrated from Sulaym Ibn Qays in reliable collections but makes no citations as to which Sunni collections he's speaking of. In any case, even if Sulaym was narrated from, "The Book of Sulaym ibn Qays" which is purportedly his has nothing to do with the Sunni chains nor is the book mentioned by the Sulaym's alleged contemporaries or some of the earliest Muslim scholars. Furthermore, the link to the "playandlearn.org" website was also misleading as playandlearn similarily didn't cite a single Sunni source that allegedly transmits from Sulaym. In fact, the playandlearn link doesn't even discuss Sulaym as being found in Sunni collections and the passing reference made to Sunnis isn't about Sulaym but about some alleged narrations in Sunni collections concerning the Shi'a concept of Imamah. xx-Mohammad Mufti-xx 11:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this is really strange...this person's existence was even questioned by Shi'i Ulema and Al Hilli even called his narrator ibn Ayash a liar and unreliable! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.35.132.13 (talk) 23:42, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is schizophrenic

It says there is some doubt about Sulaym Ibn Qays al Hilali existence though it quotes grounded sources about him having existed, in reality the problem is deeper. Kitab Sulaym Ibn Qays is deeply controversial because both Sunnis (who obviously will oppose Shiism and anything related) and Shia scholars of the Rationalist school (quite a few) rejected this book for personal reasons. But the traditional scripture dating back to over a millenia of Imamiyyah/Twelver Islam always praised this book and the author.

Sulaym Ibn Qays is quoted in numerous Shia books as a narrator himself, Kitab al Kafi of Shaykh Kulayni among others. Shia muhaddiths and Shia scholars of the scripturalist school never denied his existence nor the authenticity of his book.

The book creates controversy because of the jealousy it created from its early development on the contrary of other hadiths collections and traditions. 2A02:8428:809E:6701:F075:995E:1F39:5153 (talk) 23:28, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia merely represent the views found in reliable sources. Everything contained in the article consists of such views as given by reliable sources. Please note that Wikipedia is a tertiary source, which means that we follow the views of secondary sources, not directly of primary sources. Anyone who would like to find out more may read the primary (Arabic) sources for themselves and take away their own interpretation from them, but here on Wikipedia we view the task of interpreting and analyzing primary sources as something belonging to academic scholars and experts. We merely follow these scholars and experts. Please have a read of Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources.
