Religious teachings and tenets can be classified into three basic parts, namely: (a) doctrinal teachings (beliefs), (b) ethical values (morals) and (c) practical instructions (laws). Doctrinal teachings, when compared to ethical and juristic teachings, must be understood as the most important and pivotal of all religious teachings. On the other hand, since the Qurʾān only explains general principles and precepts, many of these teachings are derived from the narrations. Looking through the narrations, we find that most of them are comprised of solitary reports. Most of the scholars have emphasized the authority of solitary reports when it comes to matters of law and jurisprudence. However, with regards to the scope of authority such reports have in matters of faith and doctrine, there are four differing views. These are: (a) complete authority [of these reports] (b) lack of authority (c) authority only in the particulars of doctrine, and (d) authority on condition of the presence of other unequivocal supporting evidence. After critiquing all these views, the author of this article proposes a new position which is: the authority of such reports on condition of the presence of satisfactory supporting evidence.
