he Encyclopedia of Ahl al-Bayt›s Ma›ārif at a Glance

Since religious scholars and jurisprudents have paid more attention to the jurisprudential hadiths and ahkam of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and have thematically written and arranged these hadiths while when it comes to ma›arif hadiths, some works have been done in general and not in details, it felt kind of necessary to thematically categorize and elaborate ma›arif hadiths. Therefore, a collection has been compiled on the hadiths of the Four Books (that is the most original Shiite hadith book). The Encyclopedia of Ahl al-Bayt›s Ma›arif contains all the ma›arif hadiths which are in the Four Books, and it is arranged and presented in 12 volumes which include over forty thousand titles in the areas of ideology, ethics, and the philosophy of jurisprudence and ethics.
