Summary
Details

This book was written by a companion of the Infallible Imams who lived in the 3rd century AH. Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī lived during the time of the 8th, 9th and 10th Imams and narrated traditions from them all. He is considered a reliable transmitter of ḥadīth and has many treatises on various subjects. In this work, he has compiled two hundred and ninety traditions on twenty different ethical subjects. Many of the narrations he quotes have been recorded in later authoritative ḥadīth collections as well. As a manual of ethical teachings, this work contains a summary of all the important teachings of Islam pertaining to the subject of morals and akhlāq.
