Notes
Following the hadith quoted from the Prophet of Islam (S) saying “Whoever retains 40 of our hadiths for the nation...”, many religious scholars have used to collect and compile forty hadiths in an independent work. Such works are usually untitled and known as Forty Hadiths, or al-Arbaʿūn, or Arbaʿūn Ḥadis̱a based on their content, including the present work whose author is not known due to the missing of the copy’s opening and ending folios. The first chapter of this copy, as appears, is Whoever knows his Imam will not be harmed by whether this matter is advanced or delayed (f. 8). The following chapter is What came Abdul Muttalib and Abu Talib, may God be pleased with them (f. 11), and then the chapter called What came the Messenger of God (f. 13). The last chapter is Chapter Forty of what was narrated from the hadith of Dhul-Qarnayn which is on the very last folio.
