Imam Al-sadiq

To the Gentle Reader

You may find, as I have found, that these pages are not enough to encompass this unique, noble character. No wonder! The ascent is not easy. So, my excuse is the inability that I have recorded against myself. However I cannot drive away the inability. Please, after you have read these pages, bestow your notices upon me to avoid that in another edition. Indeed, the dearest one of my brothers is he who gives me my defects as a present.
