''Wasa'il al-shi'a'' is an extensive collection of authentic narrations from the [[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 al-'Amili 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 [[Mujtahid]]s since its compilation.

:::For a long time, I had this idea in mind, to collect narrations about [[Shari'a]] and [[practical laws]] from reliable books that are at the reach of 'Ulama, for these books, in addition to redundancy and repetition, contain other unrelated traditions that are not helpful for jurists. Therefore, I started to compile narrations pertaining to practical laws, I did whatever I could and I did not take but from reliable and reputable books.
