“Compiled by Mawla al-Sadr, the Greatest Companion, Master of Hands, King of Knowledge and Virtue, Mediator of the Splendor of the World and Religion, Abi al-Hasan Ali bin al-Saeed Fakhr al-Din Issa bin Abi al-Fath al-Arbali,” known as Ibn al-Fakhr, who died in vol. 692 (p. 341a: “And this date was written on the original of this copy in the handwriting of its writer, Sayyid al-Ajl Majd al-Din al-Fadl, may God have mercy on him”). His work is in two parts: the first In the biographies of the Prophet and Ali bin Abi Talib (it was completed on 3 A.D. 678 in Baghdad in his house on the western side on the shore of the Tigris - p. 123b), and the second is in mentioning Al-Zahra and the imams from her descendants (it was completed on 21 A.D. 687 - p. 341a). An Iraqi forged copy was written in two volumes (Q. 1-123, 124-342) under the illustration of “... Hassan bin Muhammad Al-Alawi,” by Hassan bin Yusuf bin Ali Al-Istarabadi. The first volume was written on 19 AH 745; 342 Iranian paper(?), 235:334 mm; pentagrams; Two preambles at the beginning of both volumes; Late “Safhani” solar lashes. Our copy was written from the copy of Majd al-Din al-Fadl bin Yahya bin Ali bin al-Muzaffar al-Tibi, transferred from the author’s original copy, including what was found in the footnotes of al-Tibi’s copy. Among these is what was added to it when it was interviewed on the author’s copy, which was attended by “Mawlana Jamal al-Din Ahmad bin Mani’ al-Hilli, the poet, may God long his life” (mentioned in Shia notables 294:10 without mentioning any date), such as “footnotes from other than the book.” As for what is included in the author’s copy, it is the text of the book itself, the conclusion of the first and second volumes, and its appendices from the author’s two authorizations by Al-Tibi in 14 n. 671 (691?) and in R. 692 (p. 123b and 341a; printed in Al-Dhari’ah 218:1, 47:18), and a narration on the authority of Jabir on the authority of Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (pp. 341b-342a). As for what is reproduced from Al-Tibi’s copy, most of it is what he edited in the margins of clarifications and additions (it is possible that some of them were copied from the margins of the author’s copy), then “footnotes from other than the book,” including: what Ibn Mani’ al-Sha’ir dictated to him in 12 to 705 of his words in the Commander of the Faithful (H. 22b); The words of Ibn Mani’ (H. 61a); What was found in the handwriting of Sayyid Al-Murtada Alam Al-Huda Al-Mousawi (Ali bin Al-Tahir Al-Hussein, d. 436) regarding Fatima (AH 135a); The verses Ibn Mani’ said when he attended the interview and the reasons for it (the verses were printed in Notables of the Shiites 294:10) (H 200b); Al-Tibi’s statement, in reference to Da’bal’s ta’iyyah: “This poem was not in its entirety in the original, but it has been recorded in its entirety, and I have marked it with red on the verses confirmed in the original” (H. 261a); Commenting on a text written by Imam Al-Rida in the author’s copy: “The poor servant said to God Almighty Al-Fadl ibn Yahya ibn Al-Tibi, may God forgive him, I met the letter written by Imam Ali ibn Musa Al-Rida, may God bless him and grant him peace, in the original, which the aforementioned Imam wrote with his own noble hand... On the third day of the beginning of Muharram in the year 679 of the crescent year, by Wasit, and praise be to God for that and blessings from him, an interview was made... at the beginning of 699 AH. ...” (E267a); Page 341a: Tariq Kashf Al-Ghumma composed by Al-Tibi. The first: “... Praise be to God, who adhered to the word of piety and enabled us to adhere to the strongest cause, etc.” Restrictions on owning and reading: p. 340b: “He says...Muhammad bin Ramadan has commanded me...Sayyid Ibrahim to read this book and correct what I stand on...\13 AD 862\...”, so we see what he corrected in his handwriting in many of the footnotes; Also: “It was considered by... Hasan bin Ali bin Al-Musta’in (?) bin Mustansir bin Musharraf Al-Din bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Ezz Al-Musharraf bin Ali bin Ahmed bin Abu Al-Marja (?) Al-Husseini. Al-Qalanisi (?) was forgiven them as a title, and Al-Iraqi as a city, and Al-Bahrain as a residence in the year 874. - p. 1a Also: “Its owner first was the prince, the head of the Muqla family, Abdullah (him) - - then it passed to the king of... Ibrahim bin Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Abdullah Al-Qara (?), inhabitant of the landscape... year - - nine hundred...” - p. 342a: “- - for his poor slave... - - Nasser bin Abdul Ali bin Ibrahim bin Musa Al-Manqa (?) on the first day of Rabi’ - -”; also: “Naji bin Hamad looked into it...” - p. 1a and 342b, ownership registration for “Bahaa Al-Din Muhammad <bin Hussein> Al-Amili” (953-1030 Gal. II(2) 515, S I 713; printed here: Read more.
