Wasa'il al- | ''Wasa'il al-shi'a'' is an extensive collection of authentic narrations from the [[Holy Prophet (s)]] and the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] regarding [[Shi'a jurisprudence]] and practical laws. The narrations are classified in 50 categories, and the final section presents various discussions about Hadith sources, the [[chains of narration]] and [['ilm al-Rijal]] (study of transmitters of Hadith). al-Shaykh al-Hurr compiled these narrations within 20 years, finishing in 1082/1671. The book holds distinctive scholarly merits which made it a necessary reference for all scholars and [[Mujtahids]] since its compilation. | ||
