Everything in this book that is narrated from Al-Fadl ibn Abdul Malik has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Khattab, from Ja'far ibn Bashir, from Hammad ibn 'Uthman, from Al-Fadl ibn Abdul Malik, who was known as Abu Al-Abbas Al-Baqbaq Al-Kufi.
