About the Author Muhammad b. Murtada b.

Muhammad known as Mulla Muhsin al-Kashani was titled as al-Fayd. He was an expert in hadith, philosopher, mystic, jurist, and a man of literature.

Reason for Naming The author titled the book al-Wafi, since he believed that it has done the rights completely to bringing of hadiths, important issues, and explanation of ambiguous expressions in hadiths.

Date of Compilation The author spent 9 years and one month for writing this work and finished it in 1068/1657. Goal of Writing In an introduction the author has written on the book, he mentioned his goal of writing this book as the following: None of the Four Books alone is enough for the reader, because some important narrations are not mentioned there. Referring to these books and finding a specific hadith is very difficult, because the titles of chapters are orderly.

(Some hadiths are not mentioned in their corresponding chapter and mentioned somewhere else. Sometimes, narrations which needed to mention separately have been mentioned together or vice versa, when narrations which have a similar theme and needed to be mentioned in one chapter are mentioned in different chapters.) Some narrations are repeated in the Four Books and this has cause their bulkiness and extra volume. Content Al-Wafi has an introduction, 14 chapters, and an ending.
