Looking at Qīyās from Another Angle

One of the meanings of the term Qīyās in the works of the first centuries is the evaluation of narrations (especially Akhbār Aḥād) based on Quran, traditions and other evidence which for various reasons are sometimes interpreted as "Qīyās" and therefore should not be considered as soon as it is seen in texts to mean the famous jurisprudential Qīyās. It also seems that the issue of Qīyās, especially among the Imamiyyeh, should be reconsidered, and perhaps, as Ayatollah Sistani has tried to explain the narrations and historical reports related to analogy, new interpretations of it can be presented and our understanding of the narrations may be transformed. This is while in the ‘Usuli works of the Imamiyyeh, especially from the school of Hillah onwards, Qīyās is sometimes mentioned as one of the criteria for evaluating the Aḥād Akhbār and also as one of the preferences in the case of the conflicting Hadith, and at least as a confirmation of Hadith and a part of "evidence collection".
