In this book, al-Shaykh al-Tusi did not concern himself with issues in the principles of Shiite beliefs, restricting himself to issues related to all areas of fiqh or laws of sharia, from [[kitab al-tahara]] (the book of cleanliness) to [[kitab al-diyat]] (the book of [[diya]] or blood money). Parts or books of fiqh in this books are organized in the same way as ''al-Muqni'a''. The sources appealed to by al-Shaykh al-Tusi in this book are the [[Quran]] (the apparent or explicit meaning or connotations or implications thereof), absolutely authentic hadiths (such as [[Mutawatir Hadith|al-khabar al-mutawatir]], that is, frequently narrated hadiths, or ones with assuring evidence for their authenticity), [[consensus]] by Muslims or by Shiite scholars, and hadiths that are well-known among the companions of [[Imams (a)]]. Moreover, al-Shaykh al-Tusi has also cited contradicting [[hadiths]], pointing to how to reconcile them with other hadiths or to weakness in them such as unreliability of their chains of narrators or the companions of [[Imams (a)]] refusing to act upon them. The book contains 393 sections and 13590 hadiths. | In this book, al-Shaykh al-Tusi did not concern himself with issues in the principles of Shiite beliefs, restricting himself to issues related to all areas of fiqh or laws of sharia, from [[kitab al-tahara]] (the book of cleanliness) to [[kitab al-diyat]] (the book of [[diya]] or blood money).
