Life

He travelled to

Work and contribution

Although Shaykh al-Kulaynī is most famous for

al-Kāfī
, this opus was not his only accomplishment. The following is a list of his known works:

  • Kitāb al Kāfī
  • Rasāʾil al ʾaʾimmah
  • Kitāb ar-rijāl
  • Kitāb ar radd ʿalā al qarāmitah
  • Kitāb mā qīla fī al ʾaʾimmah min ash-shiʿr

Sadly, of these only al-Kāfī has survived in its entirety.[8]
