Sollami in Haqaeq Al Tafsir transmitted some gnostic sayings from Imam Sadiq which their chain transmission to Imam is unknown. Some of the researchers accepted the chain transmission to Imam Sadiq and refer to conceptual unity with Noamani commentary and textual affinity with Misbah Al Shariah as proofs to this claim. Because of emptiness of Ahl ol beit recognitions, invalid sayings and contrary to Shi’ism theological and jurisprudential fundamentals, others believe that these sayings can’t have been transmitted from Imam Sadiq. Some others believe that these sayings are from Jaafar Kholdi and because of likeness in name, wrongly have been related to Imam Sadiq. They accuse Sollami of addition, dissembling, heresy, transmitting artificial sayings and amnesia. In this thesis, we will study the relationship between Imam Sadiq and Sufism, review the reasons of agreeable and opposing, review the chain transmission of Sollami sayings and compare them with Shi’ite sayings. At last we will conclude that these sayings are for about 300th year and there is very few trails of Imam Sadiq hadiths in it. Probably the most part of these sayings is from the Sufi contemporary with Jaafar ibn Mohammad called Ibn Ata whose biography was not transmitted in Sufis books.
