"Tolerance of ideas" is an appropriate solution to reduce conflicts in relations between people. In societies with a variety of religions, differences are inevitable. The study of the relationship between religion and tolerance has shown that religions often tend not to tolerate other religions. Therefore, some Western thinkers consider religious behavior patterns as factors that increase intolerance of ideas. In this article, using the method of thematic analysis, behavioral patterns based on tolerance and intolerance in interpersonal relationships are examined in the narrations of the Prophet (PBUH) to determine whether the hidden themes in the Prophet's hadiths include prejudiced behavioral patterns that spread religious violence or, on the contrary, promote tolerant behavioral patterns.The study and analysis of the hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH) at the level of identification, coding, and theme finding according to the books of the Shi'a Arba'a and Ṣaḥāḥ Sīta have shown that the frequency of the hadiths whose content is tolerance of the idea is greater than the other category indicating intolerance. The analysis of the intolerant hadiths shows that these hadiths were created at a certain time and were aimed at certain conditions and should be interpreted according to these conditions. Therefore, in the life of the Prophet (PBUH), tolerance was emphasized as a basic principle in the relations of people with each other, and violence and prejudice in religion and faith were prohibited.
