PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Man performs material deeds. We can evaluate such deeds. Man sometimes performs immaterial deeds. We cannot evaluate them. Rather, it is Allah, the Exalted, Who evaluates them and rewards man according to them. The deeds of the pure Ima`ms, peace be on them, were immaterial. Hence, we have no right to evaluate them, for they are far above evaluation. We only publish and submit them to people to make use of them.
Gentle reader, the book before you has been written by Shaykh Ba`qir Sharï~~f al-Qarashi, who spared no effort to report the history of the members of the House (ahl al-Bayt), peace be on them. Mr. Ja`sim al-Rasheed has honestly translated the book from Arabic into English.
The book is not a mere writing about the life of one of the Ima`ms, peace be on them. Rather, it has skillfully been written about the history of Isla`m. So, we thank Allah for granting us success to translate and print and publish this valuable book.
