The primary issue with these hadiths is their apparent incompatibility with human free will and divine justice. Islamic scholars have each attempted to resolve these difficulties and have offered various justifications. One of the individuals who endeavored to address this issue and stated that Tiynat narrations do not conflict with free will of human in the world, is Mullā Ṣāliḥ Māzandarānī, the commentator on the valuable book Al-Kafi. He attempted to resolve this issue by stating that human souls were tested before creation and were then granted bodies with either pure or impure Tiynat based on their performance. However, upon examining his view and the explanations he provided under each hadith, several problems become evident in his theory. These include inconsistencies with his philosophical school, internal contradictions within the theory itself, and inconsistencies with hadiths from other chapters. Furthermore, this theory contains ambiguities that require answers." "Among the hadiths that have led to challenging discussions are those related to Tiynat (human nature).
