The narration of Muffazzal...
The narration of Muffazzal, the base for the writer, is not trusted by many scholars and researchers in the science of traditions ‘HADITH’, that is, traditionists. Whatever the narrator has said by way of details is unfounded. The book, which the writer is depending on is a book scarcely known among Muslims. It is rarely read by any and seldom could be of use except to only a few, and those few belong to a category, which have no acquaintance with the Shia belief, ideology or Shia logic.
If the writer had read the bottom of page 53 in the first volume of ‘DIHAR’, where this narration is mentioned, he would never have trusted that narration and would never have made it the base now mentioned in his book. I pray to God the Almighty to bless the researchers and the writers in the toil of their task, and to provide them with a correct outlook, so that deliberation may not blind them nor bigotry persuades them. Indeed, to err is human. But to avoid is also in human power.
