"Wasa'il al-Shia" stands as one of the most monumental collections of Shi'i jurisprudential hadith, rigorously documenting every dimension of religious law. Compiled by the illustrious Shaykh Hurr Amili (d. 1693), this encyclopedic masterpiece comprises approximately 36,000 traditions across 30 volumes.
Driven by the necessity of engaging directly with the explicit words of the Ahl al-Bayt, Shaykh Hurr Amili designed this collection as a complete, self-sufficient constitution for both knowledge and practice. Systematically organized by topic, the work aggregates traditions from reliable and mass-transmitted textual sources, expanding beyond the Four Canonical Books to gather the preserved notebooks of the early faithful.
Above all, it serves as an unaltered conduit to the Infallibles, offering the greatest gift possible: the ability to base one's religion firmly upon the pristine teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt.
Volume 4 initiates the monumental Book of Prayer, transitioning from physical purification to the establishment of daily worship. This volume spans four comprehensive sections. It begins by defining the Number of Obligatory and Supererogatory Prayers, establishing the core numerical framework of the daily prayers. The text then transitions into a detailed exposition of Al-Mawaqit (Timings), outlining the strict astronomical and practical boundaries for each prayer, including rules for combining and making up missed prayers. The third section systematically covers Al-Qiblah, detailing the methods and obligations for determining and facing the sacred direction during worship. Finally, the volume concludes with an exhaustive presentation on Libas Al-Musalli (Clothing of the Praying Person). This final section provides strict rulings regarding permissible garments, prohibited materials such as specific animal hides and pure silks, and the etiquettes of adornment, equipping the reader with critical jurisprudential foundations.
Translated by the Shia Heritage Foundation, this edition provides researchers, university students, and seminarians with a precise, authoritative text. It stands as an indispensable resource for the rigorous study of classical law and the practical implementation of early jurisprudential doctrine.
Shia Heritage Foundation: - The Shia Heritage Foundation, based in Texas, USA, was established to answer a profound divine mandate: to revive the affair (Amr) of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.). To fulfill this duty, our organization is dedicated to translating the foundational Shi'i hadith corpus into English. By combining rigorous traditional scholarship with absolute textual fidelity, we provide a transparent, unaltered conduit to these sacred texts. Our ultimate mission is to empower the English-speaking believer to bypass fallible intermediaries, fortify themseleves against ideological doubt, and anchor their salvation upon the objective certainty of the documented divine law.
