The Movement of Ghulūw can be considered as the dangerous stream against Shia both in terms of belief and behavior. A stream which is apparently linked to Shia, but in conscience is rooted in heresy and Shrek. This stream that started by some greedy persons who wanted to find a better position among people, because of the ignorance, love, and indolence of people, succeeded to expand in the Muslim community and become the dangerous stream that threats the social status of Shi’a among other Islamic sects. Infallible Imams (PBUT) that considered this stream many dangerous and as threats to Shia community, tried their best to reduce the damage of Ghulūw’s stream. Accordingly, this study intends to consider the reasons of the emergence of Ghulūw’s stream, its beliefs, and its consequences on Muslim community, especially Shia’s community, and answer to this question that why fabricating hadiths by this stream did not affect so much on Shia hadith sources. Hence, and to respond to the question that raised, the research effort with the data collection from library and with the use of descriptive research methods-analytical, suggests this hypothesis that refined the hadith sources in the age of the infallible Imams (PBUT) did not allow to Ghulūw’s stream to evaporate their huge heritage of traditions of Prophet and his holy descendants (PBUT).
