If you accept Report 176 literally, you must throw out thousands of Hadith narrated by Waqifi transmitters. If you accept Najashi’s assessment, you must either reject Report 176 or reinterpret it.
Modern mainstream Imami scholarship leans heavily toward the latter view. The mashhur (famous) position today is that doctrinal deviation ( fasad al-madhhab ) does not necessitate rejection of a narrator’s Hadith unless it is proven that the deviation caused them to fabricate or distort.
