The book is basically organized in the same way as ''[[al-Muqni'a]], elaborating all its problems by an appeal to reliable sources (the [[Quran]], [[al-khabar al-mutawatir]], hadiths with assuring evidence and [[consensus]]), referring to widely accepted hadiths among [[Imamiyya]], where contradicting hadiths are interpreted away or dismissed as unreliable. In this method, in terms of which most of the part on [[taharat]] (or cleanliness) is written, the author occasionally appeals to sources such as what later came to be called combined consensus ([[al-ijma' al-murakkab]]), the views of senior scholars and some reasoning. It has also cited some [[hadiths]] from [[Sunni]] sources without mentioning their chains of narrators. In this part of the book, there are various Quranic and literary issues (related to Arabic grammar and lexicology) as well as views in [[usul al-fiqh]]. | The book is basically organized in the same way as ''[[al-Muqni'a]]'', elaborating all its problems by an appeal to reliable sources (the [[Quran]], [[al-khabar al-mutawatir]], hadiths with assuring evidence and [[consensus]]), referring to widely accepted hadiths among [[Imamiyya]], where contradicting hadiths are interpreted away or dismissed as unreliable.

However, the book would have been too lengthy and digressed from its main purpose (writing a work in hadith) had the rest of it been written with the same method. Therefore, the author changed his method in the rest of the book, resting content with citing Shiite hadiths and reconciling their conflicts. He then decided to cite all or almost all hadiths regarding the laws of sharia regardless of issues raised in ''al-Muqni'a''. This is why he added the sections on [[ziyara]] (pilgrimage) in the first three volumes of the book. Therefore, the book was written with two different methods that differ in their elaboration as well as in the way they cite hadiths. | However, the book would have been too lengthy and digressed from its main purpose (writing a work in hadith) had the rest of it been written with the same method.
