Abstract

Masāel al-Murtadhā is a collection of the great Shiite scholar Sharīf Murtadhā’s treatises and different questions which are about jurisprudence and principles, theology, and literature. This collection is corrected by Wafqān Khadhīr Mohsen al-Ka’bi, and is published in Beirut in 1422 AH. In the present article, after pointing out some of the features of the original version of this book, the author shows different inaccuracies and shortcomings of Ka›bi›s correction.The numerous and various problems of this edition indicate that the presented text of Sharīf Murtadhā’s Rasāel wa Masāel is unstable and unreliable, and thus lacks the credibility of citation and reference.
