Religion:Al-Amali (Ibn Babawayh)
Al-Amali (Arabic: الأمالي) means "book of dictations". The Al-Amali of Shaykh Saduq is a hadith collection by al-Shaykh al-Saduq, the shia jurist and theologian.[1] 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.[2]
Subjects
Amali is a word applied to books in which prominent Muslims expressed their insights and thoughts, which they believed were bestowed upon them by Allah, a process which is viewed as a tradition among Muslim scholars.[3]
Features
This book is also known as Majlis, because it was collected as a result of meetings among Sheykh Al Sadouq and others.[4] The book includes 97 Majlis.[5] The first meeting took place in 18th of Rajab month 367 lunar Hijrah. The last summit occurred in Shaban month in Mashhad city near the shrine of imam Ali al-Ridha.

Muhammad Baqir Kamarei translated the book into Persian. Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Asdollah Hoseini Arizi Sepahani Isfahani produced a translation into 11th century lunar Hijrah.[6] Recently[when?] this book was translated to Persian by Hosein Abedi.
