The Provenance of this Book

١1

الحمد لله على ما أسبغ من عطائه حمد عبد شاكر لآلائه مستدعٍ للمزيد من نعمائه وصلّى الله على رسوله محمّد خاتم أنبيائه المشفّع في أمّته^١ يوم لقائه وعلى عليّ أمير المؤمنين وصيّه والأئمّة من آله وأصفيائه .

١ ل: لأمته.

I praise God for the gifts He has showered upon us, as a worshiper who is grateful for His grace and pleads for more of His bounty. God bless Muḥammad, the Seal of His prophets, who will intercede for his nation on the day of the Meeting with God, and may He bless ʿAlī, his trustee, and the Imams among his descendants, God’s Chosen Ones.

The Chief Justice ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Nuʿmān¹ said: I transmit this book, The Islamic Legal Schools’ Conflicting Principles of Interpretation, and Refutation of Those Who Contradict the True Doctrine Therein, from my father, the Judge Muḥammad ibn al-Nuʿmān,² may God be pleased with him and grant him contentment. My father transmitted this book from his father, the Judge al-Nuʿmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Manṣūr ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥayyūn of the Tamīm tribe, may God be pleased with him and grant him contentment, and make his final destination and resting place one of honor, the author of this book. This, after he had presented this book to our Master and Ruler, the Imam al-Muʿizz li-Dīn Allāh,³ the Commander of the Faithful, God’s blessings upon him, upon his pure forefathers, and upon the Imams among his noble progeny, and after the Imam had permitted him to transmit it. My grandfather’s composition of the book and transmission of it to his son, and the son’s transmission of it to his son after him, took place after each transmitter among them had presented the work to the Imam of his time and obtained permission from him to transmit it on the Imam’s authority, and after his Highness al-ʿAzīz bi-llāh,⁴ the Commander of the Faithful, God’s blessings upon him, had granted a second permission to my father, his Chief Justice Muḥammad ibn al-Nuʿmān, God be pleased with him. I presented the book to our Highness, the Imam al-Ḥākim bi-Amr Allāh,⁵ the Imam of the present age, and he granted me permission to transmit it on his authority and to dictate it without restriction to the Imam’s servants, inscribing on the back of the volume a venerable affidavit in his exalted hand: “We have permitted the audition and dictation of this book to Our Judge, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Nuʿmān, praise be to God, Lord of all the generations!”
