بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ 

In the Name of God, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said:

“Write and spread your knowledge among your brothers. If the end of your life approaches, leave your books as an inheritance for your sons, since there will come a time of sedition during which the people will only find comfort with their books."1

*****

I dedicate the reward of this book to God’s Mercy to the worlds; the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family)
