Establishing Kamil Al-Ziyarat on Written Sources

In the present study, after examining different types of hadithi writings before the Kamil al-Ziyarat that could have been the sources of this book and classifying these writings into five groups, we introduced each of these work their names are mentioned many times in narration documents of the mentioned book. Then, with the method explained in detail in the research method, considering the multiplicity of quotations through a single way that reached the narrator of the book under study, we came to the conclusion which works are among the Kamil al-Ziyarat’s sources or written sources of one of its sources (indirect source). Finally, we came to the conclusion that in the compilation of Kamil al-Ziyarat, out of a total of 843 narrations, about 769 narrations were quoted from the written sources of Ibn Qulawayh, i.e. about 12 books from the category of rare books, Mazar books, scattered books and comprehensive narration books; that is, only about 100 narrations, equivalent to about one-eighth of the work, have been quoted orally in this book. Therefore, the Kamil al-Ziyarat book is mainly based on written works before itself.
