Ghurar al-hikam wa durar al-kalim (book): Difference between revisions

Some scholars believe that [[Abu l-fath Amidi]] was not a Shi'a. This is due to a place in his introduction where he praises [[Imam Ali (a)]] with the title, "KarramAllah-u Wajh-ah" (meaning, "May Allah honor his name"). [[Mirza 'Abd Allah Afandi]]<ref>Riyad al-'ulama, vol. 3, p. 281.</ref>, [[Ibn Shahr Ashub]]<ref>Ma'alim al-'ulama, p. 81.</ref>, [['Allamah Majlisi]]<ref>Bihar al-anwar, vol. 1, p. 34.</ref> and [[Muhaddith Nuri]]<ref>Khatimat al-mustadrak, vol. 3, pp. 91 - 96.</ref> all believe that he was a Shi'a. Mirza 'Abd Allah Afandi explains using this title here for Imam Ali (a) as either a case of ''[[taqiyya]]'' or a modification by scribes and copyists.<ref>Riyad al-'ulama, vol. 3, p. 281.</ref>
