According to some hadiths, the ''Book of 'Ali'' is described as having a length of seventy cubits (approximately 35 meters) and a width equal to that of a camel’s thigh, indicating its substantial size and volume. However, other hadiths suggest that the book was small enough to fit within a sword scabbard. Some researchers, citing additional hadiths, argue that the smaller book was only a portion of the original text. Sayyid Muhammad Kazim Tabataba'i (b. 1344 Sh) believes that the smaller book was actually a different text, distinct from the ''Book of 'Ali''. | According to some hadiths, the ''Book of 'Ali'' is described as having a length of seventy cubits (approximately 35 meters) and a width equal to that of a camel’s thigh, indicating its substantial size and volume.
