Review:
" Mohammed b. Muhammed b.
al-Noman, AL-Mufid, had the kunya Anu Abdillah, and
was well known as Ibne-al-Mualim. He was a jurist (faqih)
of the advanced order, a man of polite demeanor, he
was perspicacious and quick at repartee" wrote
Shiekh Tusi, introducing his mentor Shiekh al Mufid,
in his al fihrist.
Shiekh al-Mufid wrote nearly 194 books and treatises,
out of which few have survived passage of time , and
meticulously planned destruction of the Shia resources.
Among the surviving ones , we have his "AL- AMAALI"
which is also known as "AL- MAJAALIS". This
is the first ever - English translation of his dictations.
These were sessions held in the month of Ramadhan where
Al Mufid read the traditions giving the chain of narration
ending up to himself and the students wrote them down.
The session began in the month of Ramadhan, 404 Hijra
at the residence of one of his students Dhamrah Abul
Hasan Ali b. Muhammad Ibn Abd al Rahman al Farsi who
lived in Baghdad. It ended in the month of Ramadhan
411 Hijra, just two years before his death. It has 42
sessions of varying durations.
