Tahdhib al-ahkam (book): Difference between revisions

'''''Tahdhīb al-aḥkām''''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|تَهذیب الأحکام}}) is a collection of [[hadiths]] by [[Abu Ja'far Muhammad b. Hasan al-Tusi]] (d. [[460]]/ 1068) known as Shaykh al-Ta'ifa and al-Shaykh al-Tusi. For [[Imamiyya]], this is one of the most reliable collections of hadiths and one of [[al-Kutub al-Arba'a]] (the Four Books). Al-Shaykh al-Tusi authored the book before writing his ''[[al-Istibsar]]''. ''Tahdhib al-ahkam'' includes only hadiths related to the [[laws of sharia]].

Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. 'Ali b. al-Hasan (b. 385/995 – d. 460/1066) known as al-Shaykh al-Ta'ifa and al-Shaykh al-Tusi was the author of the two books of [[Tahdhib al-ahkam|''Tahdhib'']] and [[al-Istibsar|''al-Istibsar'']] from the [[Four Books]] of Shia [[hadiths]] references. He is regarded among the greatest hadith and Shia [[jurist]]. He had influential works in [[theology]] and the [[Qur'an exegesis]]. At the age of 23, he went to [[Iraq]] from [[Khurasan]] and benefited from great scholars there including [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] and [[al-Sayyid al-Murtada]].
