The Method Of Verification We compared the two printed copies with each other and we found as possible as we could that there was a perfectly fabricated text. We referred to the important differences between the handwritten or the printed copies.

As for our other action, it was as the following: Correcting the Qur’anic verses according to the Holy Qur'an. Referring the prophetic traditions to the reliable books of Hadith. Checking the names of the narrators according to the books of Rijal[^9] and mentioning biographies of some of them when necessary. Explaining some of vague linguistic expressions.

Finally we thank Allah that He has made us succeed in verifying this book and we pray Him to assist us in verifying much more of the traditions of Ahlul Bayt (as).[^10] Faris Hassoon Kareem Holy Qum 1-11-1421AH.
