Abstract

From among the collection of scattered commentaries on hadiths to Mulla Sadra, the one written on "Kunta kanzan makhfiyyan..." is quite noteworthy. This commentary has most probably been written by Mulla Sadra himself. In this work, he refers to one of the objections advanced against this sacred hadith by some scholars. He also claims that before him, no one has ever given a convincing answer to this objection, and then proceeds to explain the problem and introduces his own four-fold responses, which he claims to have been revealed to him by God.Since at the beginning of this tratise he refers to Muhyaddin Ibn Arabi, in some of its versions, it has wrongly been attributed to him.The writer of this paper, from among the existing versions of this treatise, has tried to edit two versions of collection number 1822 of the library of Majlis-i Shoray-i Islami by means of 'maj V and 'maj 2' codes, following a critical approach.
