The family of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as the guides of the ummah and the heirs of the prophetic knowledge, have provided the best instructions for the path of man towards happiness and perfection. Paying attention to the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) is not specific to the Shiites, and many Sunni thinkers have also paid attention to them. Ragheb Isfahani is one of the Sunni scholars who has used the hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in his works in various ways. The present article has studied the method of Ragheb Isfahani's interaction with the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) in a descriptive-analytical manner with reference to two of Ragheb Isfahani's works, namely, "Content and Presentations". The results and findings of the research show: Ragheb quotes a word in some cases and uses the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) to confirm it (confirmatory efficiency). (AS) cites (citation productivity) Explaining the words of the Qur'an and expressing the virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) with their words is another type of using it (explanatory productivity). A significant volume of the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) is used in Ragheb's words as evidence in which Ragheb does not comment (martyrdom productivity). Other types and forms of Ragheb use can also be seen.
