Al-Amali (Ibn Babawayh)

Al-Amali (Arabic: الأمالي, romanized: al-Amālī) means "book of dictations". The Al-Amali of Shaykh Saduq is a hadith collection by al-Shaykh al-Saduq, the shia jurist and theologian. Amālī or Majāles (Beirut, 1400/1980), recorded his regular Tuesday and Friday sessions in Nīšāpūr in 367-68/978-79. These dictations consist of miscellaneous traditions, but mostly accounts of the virtues of the Imams. These include the virtues and moral character of the household of Muhammad and moral exhortations.
