And from that is what is mentioned by Muwaffaq Bin Ahmad Al-Khuwarizmy, the most prolific of speakers, and he is from the important scholars of the four doctrines, in the book ‘Al-Arbaeen’ regarding the virtues of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, for it includes texts from their Prophet-saww upon Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and magnificent, majestic merits, and there is no capacity to name the books regarding that, and the merits’’. [144]
And from that is what is reported as being well known by Hujjat Nasir Bin Abu Al-Makarim Al-Mitrazy, and he is from the important scholars of the four doctrines, author of the book ‘Al-Gharb Wa Al-Maghrib’, and the clarification in the commentary ‘Al-Maqamaat’ in the commentary of the book ‘Al-Manaqib’. He said in the beginning of the book, what are his wordings, ‘I am mentioning the merits of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. But I am mentioning things from it, when mentioning them all, one would be deficient from it in counting. But mentioning a lot of these the talking of the talker would be narrowed from its inquiry. Pointing upon the truthfulness what he mentioned is what I was informed with by the chest of the memorisers Al-Hassan Bin Al-Ata’a Al-Hamdany, raising it until he said, ‘We are narrated by the chests of the imams, the most prolific of the speakers, Muwaffiq Bin Ahmad Al-Makky, then Al-Khuwarizmi.

It is informed to us by the Seyyid Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, Al-Husayni Al-Shaybani, by the reading to him, ‘It is narrated to us by the sheykh, the scholar Abu Al-Najm Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab Bin Isa Al-Saman Al-Razy, ‘It is informed to us by the sheykh, the scholar Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al-Neshapury, ‘It is informed to us by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ja’far Al-Adeeb, by my recitation to him. It is narrated to me by Al-Muafa Bin Zakariya Abu Al-Faraj, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Salj, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Bahram, from Yusuf Bin Musa Al-Qattan, from Jareer, from Lays, from Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Even if the trees were to be pens, and the oceans were ink, and the Jinn were counters, and the human beings were writers, they would not be able to count the merits of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.
