Notes
The subject of this work is the occultation of Imam Mahdi, the disappeared Imam in Shia Islam. According to the author, he had noted in Nishabour, while on a return trip from Mashhad, that people are in doubt about the occultation of Imam Mahdi. Therefore, he decided to author a book to prove the occultation of Imam Mahdi using intellectual and narrative reasons. He completed this work in 354 AH/965, creating the book of 'Ikmāl a-Dīn va Itmām al-Niʿmah' in 62 chapters.
Sample Text
Praise be to Allah, Al-Shaykh al-Faqih Muhammad bin Ali bin Al-Hussein bin Musa bin Baboyeh, the author of this book, said: "This is the one who prayed for me to compile this book, I am the one who made the decision and I went to visit Ali bin Musa al-Reza. I returned to Nishabur and settled there, and found the majority of those who differed from me, the Shia."
