In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

On the occasion of the month of Jamadi al-Thani and the death of Allamah Saeed al-Mulla Abqat (may Allah have mercy on him)

Allamah Sayyid Muhammad Saeed al-Mulla (the grandson of Abqat); born on 8 Muharram 1333 AH. In 1351 AH, he went to Najaf Ashraf and attended the lessons of jurisprudence and principles of the great saints: Agha Zia Iraqi, Sayyid Abul-Hasan Isfahani, Mirza Hassan Bojnourdi, Sayyid Jawad Tabrizi and Sheikh Abdul-Hussein Rashti and received the degree of ijtihad from them.

In 1356 AH. He returned to his hometown and devoted himself to writing, teaching and socio-cultural activities, especially enriching his unique family library, the Nasiriyah Library.

He is the author of valuable works such as: The Twelver Imam (peace be upon him), The Supporters of the Imams (/Al-Asma) (peace be upon them), The True Faith Under the Light of the Holy Quran, The Ascension of Eloquence – a collection of sermons of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), The City of Knowledge, The Verse of Purification, The Verse of Wilayat and the compilation of parts of the Abqat Al-Anwar such as the Hadith of Manasiba and the Hadith of Khaybar, and the author of other works.

Finally, on the 11th of Jumada Al-Thani 1387 AH in Lucknow, when he had not passed more than 55 years of his noble life, he bid farewell to the mortal world and hastened to meet God.

After a magnificent funeral, his body was transferred to Agra and buried next to his venerable father, Allama Nasir Hussain, in the courtyard of the shrine of Qadi Noorullah Shushtari – the third martyr – may God have mercy on him.

It is worth mentioning that the late Saeed al-Mullah introduces the works of the Abqat family at the end of some of his manuscripts. In some of the notes written in pencil, he introduces the works of:

Allamah Mufti Sayyid Muhammad Quli (father of the owner of the Abqat / 1188 – 9 Muharram al-Haram 1260 AH), Allamah Sayyid Ijaz Hussain (brother of the owner of the Abqat / 21 Rajab al-Murjab 1240 – 1286 AH), Allamah Mir Hamid Hussain (owner of the Abqat / 5 Muharram al-Haram 1246 – 18 Safar al-Muzaffar 1306 AH), Allamah Nasir al-Mullah (son of the owner of the Abqat / 19 Jumada al-Thaniyyah 1284 – 1 Rajab al-Murjab 1361 AH).

Notes

The Splendor of the Lucknow School in the Indian Travelogue of the Author of *al-Ghadir

The primary objective of this historic journey was to gain access to early, first-hand sources from both sides and to transcribe rare documents for the completion of the volumes of *al-Ghadir* and the enrichment of the Amir al-Mu’minin Library in Najaf. The highlight of the journey was his month-long stay in Lucknow, the warm hospitality and companionship of the Abaqat family, and the indescribable amazement of the author of *al-Ghadir* at the unparalleled holdings of the Nasiriyya Library—an event that immortalized the bond between two major centers devoted to defending the doctrine of Imamate in Najaf al-Ashraf and Lucknow.

Notes

Article: A Critique and Review of the Critical Edition of “Hadith Ali ma‘a al-Haqq” from Abaqat al-Anwar: Critical Editing and Research, or Corruption and Distortion?

“Hadith Ali ma‘a al-Haqq,” from the Abaqat al-Anwar encyclopedia, is an incomplete manuscript section that became available to researchers in recent years. This section consists of a collection of unorganized research slips and rough notes, most of which were written by copyists unfamiliar with the relevant vocabulary and terminology; consequently, what has survived is a disordered text containing numerous errors. Recently, a portion of these notes that possesses greater order and continuity was selected by an institute in Qom and published with grand claims of “critical editing, research, and annotation” and described as “a rarely matched scholarly investigation.”

Manuscript Repository

The Researcher’s Introduction to the Revival of the Qur’anic Verses Section of Abaqat al-Anwar

The present volume is a researched and critically edited edition of this monumental work. In preparing this edition, every effort has been made, as far as possible, to exercise the degree of precision, patience, and diligence befitting the critical editing and study of an exceptional work such as Abaqat al-Anwar, and to honor the efforts of the devoted scholar Allamah Mir Hamed Hussain Lakhnawi in compiling this book by presenting a sound and critically established text. Accordingly, an effort has been made to produce a final text so thoroughly refined, corrected, and critically examined that the reader of Abaqat al-Anwar will perceive no difference in editorial quality between its First Manhaj, whose two extant copies are manuscripts, and its Second Manhaj, whose surviving copies are printed and well preserved.
