And cannot find a single soul in the universe except...
And cannot find a single soul in the universe except Muhammad (S) & his household her daughter, the gracious & magnanimous Fatima (sa), his cousin Ali (as) the grand, splendid & sublime personality known as the gate of the city of Prophet's knowledge & the eleven Imams who are his descendants & progeny. These fourteen channels of knowledge & wisdom are linked up with Allah (SWT) so their knowledge is divine knowledge.
Even today their effects, such as Nahjul Balaghah, speech of Fatima (sa) Sahifatul Sajjadia, Saheefa al-Alawiyyah & frame work of social, moral, ethical, logical educational, economical norms & standards for humanity with which it can put a curb & restraint upon the various evils, vices & misfortunate catastrophes like war, famine, destruction, illiteracy, disease & annihilation. Humanity by curbing the ever growing lawlessness, & oppression can turn this.
World full of misery into a glorious heaven with all the thinkable & possible comforts, joys, fraternity & felicitations. To sum up, the need of introducing & materializing the aspirations of the holy Prophet of Islam & his progeny has grown multiply in this age. The need to translate, propagate & spread their mission of peace & tranquility. So this book is an effort towards this end.
Although with its small volume & limited boundaries it can just be called a symbol & indicator for the researchers & a guideline for them to proceed ahead & discover the genuine & natural phenomenon of the metaphysics & the highway to the Divine Light leading to eternal prosperity. It contains 560 Hadiths which covers many dimensions of the human life & for those seeking solution to the today's world problems, it is a guide.
Yet there is need to probe into the rest of the Hadiths through strenuous efforts. As already mentioned this knowledge is 'a beneficence, & benevolence equally for those in the East or west whether they are white or black, yellow or red. I earnestly pray to Almighty Allah to give us the courage, strength & sincerity to gather up the gems from the heritage of Muhammad (S) & his Household (as). And to put that into practice. I have put in sincere effort to do the job of translating these Hadiths.
But it was not an easy thing to do since: The speech of the leader (Imam) is the Imam (leader) of all speeches. کلام الامام امام الکلام But only with their help & affection could this job be completed.
