Hadith, as one of the important sources of Islam, has gone through a tumultuous history and in the early centuries, with many political obstacles and oppositions such as prohibition of writing and writing, hadith burning, forgery, rivalry and intimidation and assassination of Imams and their companions. , Has been facing. In this paper, with a sociological approach and a methodological model, we seek to explain how hadith and related sciences evolved in such an inappropriate context. Achieving this explanation can be effective in contemporary scientific policy-making. The research findings indicate that the epistemological capacities of hadith and the scientific policies of the Imams, such as encouraging narration and narration, writing hadith, holding educational meetings, questioning and answering and debating, and corrective policies such as offering hadith, citation and permission to narrate hadith Epistemology, along with the characteristics and motivations of Shiite narrators as individual factors, in Medina, Mecca, Kufa, Baghdad, Qom, Rey, and Khorasan, overcame non-epistemological reason and the evolution of the science of hadith.
