Abstract
A large part of the narrations attributed to Amir al-Mu'minin (AS) is devoted to his letters and correspondence. The narrative format of the letter is slightly different from other narrative formats due to its written nature and it is believed that it has been less exposed to change and distortion, but the genealogy and follow-up of the historical history of the letters show that this type of narrative has also undergone changes. In this article, Amir al-Mu'minin's letters to Ibn Abbas have been genealogically identified using the method of text criticism, which can be done by identifying the changes and additions and the differences between different reports of a narrative. Therefore, the collection of Imam's letters to Ibn Abbas was collected from various sources and its ratio was measured according to the origin of the issue. For this purpose, criteria such as the number of narrating sources and the amount of difference between these sources in quoting a selection letter and the text of the letters were set from these criteria. The result is the classification of this collection of letters in three categories with differences in the level of originality and credibility.
