Abstract
Abstract
There have been various views about Solaym ibn Qays and the book attributed to him, the Book of Solaym, which can be classified into five headings: the authenticity of Solaym and absolute validity of the Book; Solaym 's authenticity and relative validity of the book; The authenticity of Solaym and falsehood of the book; Falsehood of Solaym and the book both, falsehood of Solaym and relative authenticity of the book. This research has reached another point of view by studying  available data: 1. Solaym should be stopped on, although the possibility of his being a usual narrator is notable; 2. The author / authors of this book have hidden their identity due to Taqiyyah and attributed the book to Solaym, who was not alive at that time; and 3. Based on some evidence, only a part of this book has been of its original identity and originality, and it seems that a considerable part of it has been added late. The novelty of this view goes back to the first component and the combination of the three components.
