VISITING THE TOMB OF SHAYKH KULAYNI
As long as he is in Baghdad, a visitor is also advised to visit
the tomb of Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni, may Allah
perfume his tomb, the most sublime, splendid, and
trustworthy religius personality. In his time, he was the most
trustworthy and versed chief of the Shi'ah in the field of
reporting of traditions. In a period of twenty years, he
compiled his famous book entitled al-Kafi - such a precious
book that has delighted the eyes of all the Shi'ah. Moreover,
his book is considered a favor that has been done to the
Shi'ah in general and Shi'ite scholars in particular. Ibn al-Athir
has regarded Shaykh al-Kulayni as the reviviscent of the
Imamiyyah Sect in the third century after he has regarded our
master the Eighth Imam (al-Rida) as the reviviscent of the
Sect in the second century.
In my book of Hadiyyat al-Za'ir, I have listed the names of the
scholars buried in these holy shrines. To acquaint oneselt
with this piece of information, the gentle reader may refer to
that book.
