\n The Sheykh Abdul Naby Al Kazmy in Takmalat Al Rijaal said, \u2018I copied from the writing of Al Majlisi, may Allah -azwj have Mercy upon him, who said, \u2018I say that I found an old copy of Kitab Sulaym by two reports between which were simple differences, and written at the end of one of them was, \u201cThis completes Kitab Sulaym Bin Qays Al Hilali \u2013 until it said \u2013 A report from Al Sadiq -asws , that he -asws said: \u2018The ones from our -asws Shiites and those that loves us -asws , who does not have Kitab Sulaym Bin Qays Al-Hilali, then there is nothing with him from our -asws matters, nor does he know anything from our -asws reasons, and it is the Alphabet ( Abjad ) of the Shiites, and a secret from the secrets of the Progeny -asws of Mohammed -saww \u2019.
[1] \n Preface \n Sulaym ibn Qays Kufi Amari Hilali -ra is \u2018Tabai\u2019 [2] and has seen the lifetime of five Masoom Imams -asws , including Imam Ali -asws , Imam Hassan -asws , Imam Hussain -asws , Imam Zainul Abadeen -asws and Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws .\u00a0 Sulaym has written those accounts in his priceless book, which he has either observed by his own eyes or has directly heard from those who have directly heard from the Divine tongues of the Prophet Mohammed -saww or Amir-ul-Momineen Ali -asws ibn abi Talib -asws .\u00a0 The date of birth of Sulaym ibn Qays can be estimated from the history somewhere during the early years after migration of the Holy Prophet -saww to Medina and his demise is believed to have taken place somewhere between 70 to 90 Hijri [3] .\u00a0 Most of the Shia scholars have agreed that his book is the first Shia Ahadith book compiled even before the famous Shia book, consisting of the sermons and Ahadith narrated by Imam Zain-ul-Abadeen -asws \u2018Sahifa-e-Kamila\u2019.
