خلاصة:
In the 3rd century a.h. some narrators of hadiths were dismissed from Qom by Ahmad ibn ‘Isã Ash’ari. Since most of these narrators were accused of exaggeration abouth the place of Imams (Ghulow)، it is held that the reason for their dismissal is exaggeration and deviation in belief and then a generalization is made to the effect that Qomis used to dismiss the narrators with a small sign of exaggeration. However، it seems that the only reason for their dismissal was not deviatin in beliefs، rather they were particular social activists whose presence in Qom was dangerous for the survival of Shiite community in Qom. Moreover، the dismissal of narrators (even if it is based on deviation in beliefs) was merely the approach of Ahmad Ash’ari and not all of the masters of Qom، and thus it should not be taken as the approach of the school of Qom.

However, it seems that the reasons for the expulsion of these individuals were not only doctrinal deviation, but rather the expelled individuals were an active social group whose presence in Qom, under the political conditions of that time, was not suitable for the survival of the Shiite community of Qom. Furthermore, the idea of expelling narrators and the total removal of a narrator - even if based on doctrinal reasons - was only the view of Ahmad al-Ash'ari and not the view of all the masters (mashayikh) of Qom; this behavior does not seem consistent with their performance and, therefore, should not be regarded as the intellectual foundation of the school of Qom. Keywords Expulsion of narrators, Qom hadith school, Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, extremists (ghaliyan).
This article seeks to demonstrate through evidence that: A) The expulsion of narrators, which occurred only during a certain period and at the hands of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa al-Ash'ari, was not solely arising from doctrinal causes and factors, but rather social and political factors played an essential role in this action; B) Even if this action by Ahmad al-Ash'ari was for doctrinal reasons and to combat ghuluw, the other masters of Qom during the time of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa and after him did not share his opinion or belief, and his viewpoint and severity of action cannot be attributed to the Qom hadith school.
Based on a report from the book Rijal al-Kashi, this action was prevalent during a period - which, according to evidence, is the era of Ahmad al-Ash'ari's leadership - and during this time, a group of people were expelled from Qom (Sheikh Tusi, 1430: 509).
