Ask Those Who Know (ISBN 964-438-314-1) is a book written by the Tunisian Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Tijani.
The author found the Shi'a arguments for their account of history to be valid and sourced, and he began to write about it. Ask those who know is his second book in a series of books he wrote for the Sunni audience, asking the Sunnis the same questions he faced during his studies of Shi'a literature, and propagating that these questions can not be answered with the Sunni view of the events, and citing evidence that he claimed proved the Shi'a view to be more sound.
This book, together with the rest of Al-Tijani's books were banned in some countries, for example Saudi Arabia.
The title implies that Islam should be learned from Muhammad's chosen family, the Ahl al-Bayt, and not from his companions, the Sahaba, implying that some of the companions where not among those who knew.
The book, together with Al-Tijani's other books, have been regarded by Shi'as as important achievements, being prominently cited in many Shi'a-Sunnni argumentations.
