Tahzeeb ul Ahkam is one of the four major books of Hadith in Shia Islam, compiled by Sheikh Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Tusi, who is also known as Sheikh al-Ta'ifa (the Sheikh of the Sect). He was a towering figure in Shia jurisprudence and hadith, and his other famous work is Al-Istibsar. He passed away in Najaf in the year 460 Hijri (1067 CE), and his contributions remain foundational in Shia Islamic scholarship.
Sheikh al-Tusi was born in Tus, Iran, in 385 Hijri and later moved to Baghdad to study under leading scholars including Sheikh Mufid and Syed Murtaza. After sectarian violence in Baghdad, he migrated to Najaf and established the famous Hawza (seminary) there. Tahzeeb ul Ahkam is a commentary on Al-Muqni'ah by Sheikh Mufid and contains over 13,000 hadith narrations dealing with jurisprudence.
