## About this book

"Ibn Babawayh - also known by his honorific title of al-Shaykh al-Saduk - was an Imami Shiʻi scholar of the early Buwayhid period. He is best known as a major hadith scholar, being the author of Man la yahduruhu al-Faqih , one of the four canonical books of Shi'ite Islam. Despite his importance, al-Saduq has received little scholarly attention. Neither is there any book length study on Shi'i hadith literature, the discipline being overwhelmingly dominated by studies of Sunni hadith . George Warner's book fill this gap. It is a study of al-Saduq - one of the foundational figures of Twelver Shiʻism, a scholar of the hadith, a member of the Buwayhid court and a writer or great skill and ingenuity - and it sheds light on the richness of the later Abbasid religious and intellectual culture."--
