It is not hidden from a great capable reader the impact that reading leaves on the soul, thought and conscience, but the books of the first two who preceded us in the exploration of life and contemporaneous with the apostles and benefited from the breadth of their knowledge and the fragrance of their biography, remain the first among the ranks of books among the genius readers.
In your hands today is the book of Al-Jafr, which is one of the important books, and it is considered one of the sources and foundations of knowledge acquired by the twelve imams.
It has been different for a long time on the identity of the author of the book, some attributed it to Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, while others attribute it to Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq, while another group tends to attribute the book to Imam Muhammad Madi Abu Al-Azaim, the author of the call of Muhammadiyah inheritance for this era.
Whatever it is, we are in the end in front of a book that is full of knowledge and information that you may not find in any other book, whether you agree or disagree with its content.
The Shiites believe that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, inherited the Al-Jafr book by Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him. The book includes two leather boxes containing different books about previous prophets, which were inherited by Fatima, may God be pleased with her, from the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, according to the Shiite narrative.
While the book of Jafar Imam Abu al-Azaim predicts what will happen in the future of the Islamic nation, and this has raised a lot of controversy about the book among some Muslim scholars in our time because the unseen is known to God alone.
