This book only includes those hadith of the Prophet (s) which speak about virtues and morals (akhlaq). It avoids hadith regarding other topics such as [[jurisprudence]]. About the topic of the book and its accuracy, the author says: | |||
:: I compiled this collection of the Prophet's (s) sayings through years of studying texts and spent as much of my life as possible on it - and even with all my attention, if there is any incorrect hadith in it, I would not be worried because I have not related something wrong to the Prophet (s) or quoted any weak saying from others; and also I might be allowed this because this collection is not about [the rulings of] the [[permissible]] and the [[forbidden]] - it is about the good, virtues and perfections - and leaders of the past have always been easy on the [[chains of transmitters]] of such hadith. | |||

Some of the sayings of this collection have at the same time been ascribed to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. About such ambiguity of reference, the author says, "there are many cases when similar sayings and reports related to Imam Ali (a) have been reported from the Prophet (s), which some think is due to transmitters' mistakes; however, the fact is that the spiritual similarity between Muhammad (s) and Ali (a) has made such a result." | Some of the sayings of this collection have at the same time been ascribed to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]].

In a lengthy introduction, the author has spoken of his purpose for writing the book and expanded upon the Prophet's (s) fluency of speech, among other issues. This is followed by 3227 hadith, which are in alphabetical order, according to the first letter of the hadith's first word. Later translations and editions have rearranged the hadith based on their topics. The book ends with two appendices: the first appendix contains the Prophet's (s) speeches. The second appendix includes his metaphorical sayings. | |||
