Content[edit]

The book has fifteen chapters. The first focuses on Muhammad's miracles, while following chapters look at Ali, Fatimah, and Hasan Ibn Ali's miracles.[2]

The text focuses only on miracles and wonderworks (Karamat), rather than the figures' biographies. Included miracles include speaking with animals, knowledge to Absent Things, and an instance when Hasan Ibn Ali was able to change the sexuality of a man and a woman.[3]

Some sections of the text draw from other books, including:

  • Bosatan Al Kiram by Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Shazan Qommi
  • Mafakhir Al Riza by Hakem Neishabouri
  • Helyat Al Oliyya by Hafiz Abu Naeem Isfahani
  • Fazael Al Batoul by abu Mousa
