Attribution of ''Makarim al-akhlaq'' to Hasan b. Fadl Tabrisi is definite and the attention of scholars and existence of many copies approve that. ''Makarim al-akhlaq'' was printed in [[Iran]], [[Lebanon]] and [[Iraq]] several times, but some distortions were made in its print in [[Egypt]], without any mention of them. [[Muhammad Baqir Bahari Hamedani]] (d. 1333/1915) was among the people who mentioned these distortions and wrote a treatise titled Tasdid al-makarim wa tafdih al-zalim fi bayan tahrif Makarim al-akhlaq. In three chapters, he mentioned the changes, additions and omissions made to Makarim al-akhlaq. After the information about this print was spread, manuscripts and old copies of the book were taken out of the market and access. After the publication of ''Tasdid al-makarim'', some Shi'a scholars including [[Habib Allah Rashti]], [[Muhammad Hasan Mamaqani]], [[Mirza Husayn Nuri]], [[Husayn Quli Hamadani]], [[Al-Sayyid Muhammad Kazim al-Yazdi]], [[Shaykh Muhammad Taha Najaf]], [[Muhammad Kazim Khurasani]] and [[Sayyid Muhammad Hasan Shirazi]] wrote their opinions in objection to the print in Egypt and published them in an appendix to the treatise of ''al-Tasdid''.
