Detailed commentary by Imam Khomeini on 40 selected traditions narrated through the Prophet and his Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them ) undertakes serious discussion on topics of ethics and spirituality.
The original work in Persian, published under the title “Arba’in, ya chihil hadith” was written by Imam al-Khomeini several decades ago and was completed in the month of Muharram 1358 (April-May, 1939).
The manuscript of this work, together with that of two other unpublished works of the author, Sharh Du’ae sahar, and Adab al-salat, were recovered from the library of the late Ayatullah Akhund al-Hamadani. All the three works have now been published.
Several of works left by Imam Khomeini contain mystical treasures and the great scholar of contemporary era has touched upon on various issues with genuine Islamic approach.
Dozens of Imam's works have been translated in several languages over the past years and are widely becoming popular among a range of readers across the globe.
Imam Khomeini has left several works on jurisprudence, Hadith, Quranic interpretation, philosophy and mysticism.
