Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Al-Husayn ibn Musa ibn Babawayh Al-Qummi, the author of this book, says: The noble, virtuous Sayyid Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Alawi Al-Mousawi Al-Madani, known as Ni'mah - may Allah (swt) continue to support, grant success, and guide him - has heard this book from beginning to end as I recited it to him, and I have narrated it from my mentioned teachers. This took place in the land of Balkh, in the region of Ilagh. I have written this with my own hand, praising Allah (swt) and expressing gratitude, and sending prayers and peace upon Muhammad and his family. Ameen, O' Lord (azj) of the worlds.
