    Summary note
    Acephalous anon. work by a Zaydī author of the 6th/7th cent. H. There are frequent references to Shams al-Dīn Jaʻfar ibn Aḥmad ibn ʻAbd al-Salām (d. 573/ 1177: Brockelmann, GAL, I, 508) from whom the author received traditions. The book is divided into ten bābs (the beginning of the first bāb is missing).
