Evaluating the documentary and content validity of the hadith "Qulub al-Muluk" in the sources of Shiite and Sunni

Among the documents that those who believe in passivity in the political system cling to is a narrative known as "Qulob al-Muluk" in which the people are advised to avoid cursing and confronting cruel and oppressive kings and only ask God through prayers and supplications. Make the hearts of the kings kind to them. The most important issue of this narrative is to be content with praying and not taking action to reform rulers and undesirable political affairs. The present research aims to answer the question of inactivity with a descriptive-analytical method and a critical approach, after mentioning the date of transmission of this hadith in the sources of the parties, it has investigated its documentary and textual validity. The authenticating of this narration shows that the aforementioned hadith has weak authenticity because its first appearance was in Sunni sources in the third century, and then it was transferred to Shiite sources and gradually entered the commentary and theological texts. Validation of the content of the narrative also shows that the Holy Quran and other religious teachings not only support this content, but also invite active participation in politics and criticism and supervision of the rulers. There are also authentic narrations in front of the said narration, which makes it a serious challenge in the test of presenting the hadith on the authentic Sunnah.
