'''''Sharḥ al-akhbār fī faḍāʾil al-Aʾimma al-Aṭhār (a)''''' (Arabic:{{iarabic| (شرحُ ألأخبار فی فَضائل ألأئمّة ألأطهار(ع}}) is a book written by [[Qadi Nu'man al-Maghribi]] (d. 363/973), the prominent [[Isma'ili]] scholar. Despite what the title of the book suggests, it is not restricted to the virtues of the [[Imams (a)]]; rather it is a history of Imams (a) from [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] to the life of [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]].

Abu Hanifa Nu'man b. Muhammad b. Mansur b. Ahmad b. Hayun al-Tamimi al-Maghribi was a prominent Isma'ili scholar at the beginning of the formation of [[Isma'iliyya]]. He was born in 259/872 in [[Morocco]] in a family of scholars. His father was a well-known [[Sunni]] scholar and a follower of the [[Maliki]] school and a narrator of many [[hadith]]s. Nu'man learned about hadiths and Islamic disciplines since he was a child.

Nu'man learned about hadiths and Islamic disciplines since he was a child.


Nu'man was a follower of the Maliki school, but he later converted to Isma'ili [[Shiism]]—the sect that takes [[Isma'il b. Ja'far al-Sadiq (a)]] to be the occluded Imam. Some Shiite scholars, such as [[al-'Allama al-Majlisi]] and [[Muhaddith al-Nuri]], take him to be a [[Twelver Shiite]], maintaining that he pretended to be an Isma'ili Shiite to protect himself from Isma'ili kings.

The book consists of 16 parts. There is some confusion in the order of these parts; for example, one issue is sometimes mentioned in different parts. For example, there are hadiths from the [[Holy Prophet (s)]] about the virtues of Imam 'Ali (a) in the first part, but it cited [[Hadith of Sadd al-Abwab]] in the 7th part as well. The author cited hadiths without any classification, and the titles and classifications are given by the editor of the book.

Eleven parts of the book, constituting the present two volumes, are concerned with the virtues and the biography of Imam 'Ali (a). The other parts concern the general virtues of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], [[Lady Khadija (a)]], [[Lady Fatima al-Zahra (a)]], [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]] and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], and the history of [[Karbala]]. He also devoted part 13 of the book to the household of [[Abu Talib]] and the [[Martyrs of Karbala]]. He then cited the virtues of Imam al-Sadiq (a) and discussed Shiite sects formed after Imam al-Sadiq (a).
