Mullā Ṣadrā has created his book's plot based on the four journeys of the mystics: (1) Journey from the People towards the Truth, (2) Journey towards the Truth from the Truth, (3) Journey from the Truth towards the People, and (4) Journey towards the Truth within the People. The book is compiled in four volumes, as follows: first volume, Fī al-umūr al-ʿāmmah; second volume, Fī al-ʿilm al-ṭabīʿī; third volume, Fī al-ʿilm al-ilāhī; and fourth volume, Fī ʿilm al-nafs min al-mabdaʾ ilá al-maʿād.

Tārīkh-i Vaṣṣāf is one of the oldest historical sources of the Ilkhanate era, including an introduction and five volumes describing the events of the Ilkhnate government, beginning from the death of Möngke Khaqan (ruled 648-657 AH) through 723 AH, which is at the middle of the kingdom of Abū Saʿīd Bahādur (ruled 716-736 AH). This is one of the trustworthy historical sources, because the author himself has been a member of the court, and has either seen many of the events through his own eyes, or heard them from the higher ranks of the Ilkhante court. Another important feature of this book is its recording of many administrative terms of the Ilkhante court. The book is also importantly featured for its consideration of giving a fair-minded account of the historical incidents, its attention to the conditions of Shiraz and the Fars province at the time of the author, and his attitude towards the lives of the lower-class society. Tārīkh-i Vaṣṣāf is written in an ornate (mutikallif) and rhymed (musajjaʿ) prose, full of phrasing variations and repeating synonyms, with excessive use of Arabic facts, poems, and Quranic verses. Many of the book's Arabic or Persian poems are from the historian himself. Vaṣṣāf has dedicated part of his book to Ghazan Khan (ruled 694-703 AH), and another part to Öljeitü (ruled 703-716 AH) in Muḥarram 712. ʿAṭā Malik Juvaynī (623-981) is praised by him, and he calls his history book a continuation of Tārīkh-i Jahāngushā-yi Juvaynī. He has added some part of this book at the end of his fourth volume. These are the parts which account for the events of the Mongol and Tatar tribes, Genghis Khan's coming into power, and his invasions in Khurasan and Transoxiana, as well as a summary of the history of Khwarazmian dynasty. In addition, he has also appended to his book some treatises such as Madrasat Sayyār ( مدرسة سیار), Uṣūl-i Fann-i Bayān ( اصول فن بیان), and Rasālah-'i dar Tashbīh (رساله‌ای در تشبیه). The cataloguer of the Central Library of University of Tehran (2/525) records the book's compilation date between the years of 699-711 AH. He believes that Vaṣṣāf al-Ḥaz̤rat has downgraded his history to the level of an oration or lecture, despite all his accurateness and correctness. This copy is the second volume of a work on the history of Iran. The first volume has been about the Kublai Khan's accession to the throne, and this volume covers the Persian history from the beginning of the rule of Salghurids to the end of Arghun Khan era. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin Wadh.Minasian 26

This work is a refutation written in response to "Mīzān al-ḥaqq fī al-radd ʿalā al-muslimīn", written by a Christian priest called Henry Martyn (known as Padri). Henry Martyn had initiated a number of objections against Islam and presented them in a treatise. In opposition, a number of scholars stood up to respond, including Ākhund Narāqī in his book, Sayf al-Ummah. Apparently, the answers could not have any effect on his ideas, and he was still determined on his objections, until Muḥammad Riz̤ā ibn Muḥammad Amīn Hamadānī authored Irshād al-muz̤illīn to remove Henry's doubts, a book comprised of an introduction, two "mishkāt"s [disagreements], and a conclusion. The introduction is entitled "Dar Bayān-i vujūb-i takhlīyah-i qalb az shavāʾib-i shukūk va taḥliyah-i ẓāhir va bāṭin bi-ḥilyah-i ṣidq va ṣavāb". The first mishkāt has two "miṣbāḥ"s [enlightments]. The first miṣbāḥ is "Dar bayān-i vujūb-i luṭf bar laṭīf-i baṣīr va vujūb-i aṣlaḥ bar ʿalīm-i khabīr". The second miṣbāḥ is "Dar vujūb-i ʾījād-i ashyāʾ bar naḥv-i aṣlaḥ". The second mishkāt is "Dar bayān-i īrādātī kih kishīsh-i naṣrānī bar fāz̤il-i muʿāṣir namūd". The conclusion is to address some of the religious questions. Muḥammad Riz̤ā Hamadānī had originally compiled his refutations in a more comprehensive book called Miftāḥ al-nubuvvah (published 1240 AH/1825), of which he created a selection under the title of Irshād al-muz̤illīn. The present book is dedicated to Fatḥʿalīshāh. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin Wadh.Minasian 273

He says the book was written by Imām Jaʿfar Ṣādiq PBUH, with some text written by Imām Ḥasan ʿAskarī PBUH. It was kept in Al-Aqsa Mosque for some time before it was brought to Persia from Al-Aqsa Mosque by Sayid Abū Ṭāhir ibn jaʿfar ibn ʿUmrān ibn Mūsá ibn Imām Muḥammad Taqī PBUH in the year three hundred and fifty [AH].

Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar ibn Daffāq quotes from Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad and Abū Muḥammad Jaʿfar ibn Aḥmad, both quoting from Abū Yaʿqūb and Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad Sayyār, who said that their fathers were Shiites living under the ruling of Ḥasan ibn Zayd ʿAlavī, nicknamed as Dāʿī ila al-Ḥaq, in Astarābād. As Ḥasan ibn Zayd ʿAlavī treated his opponents rigorously, they fleed with their families and presented themselves to Imām Ḥasan ʿAskarī.

Būstān, or Saʿdī'nāmah, is an ethical, philosophical, and mystical masnavi in Persian literature. As mentioned in the preface to Būstān, Saʿdī versified this poem in 655 AH, between the two eids of Fiṭr and Qurbān, in honour of Abū Bikr ibn Saʿd ibn Zangī, the Salghurid ruler during 623-658 AH. Saʿdī did not give it a title, but refers to it within the text as 'Nām'burdār-i ganj'. Old editions of this masnavi had a title of 'Saʿdī'nāmah', but recent and new copiers have called it Būstān to correspond with his other work in prose, Gulistān. The poem is versified in the poetry measure known as 'mutaqārib mus̱amman maḥẕūf'. It includes short narratives in a preface and ten chapters, as follows: Chapter 1: عدل و تدبیر رأی Chapter 2: احسان Chapter 3: عشق و مستی و شور Chapter 4: تواضع Chapter 5: رضا Chapter 6: قناعت Chapter 7: عالم تربیت Chapter 8: شکر بر عافیت Chapter 9: توبه و راه صواب Chapter 10: مناجات و ختم کتاب. Many commentaries have been written on this work over time in Persian, Turkish, and Western languages such as Latin, French, German, Dutch, and English. According to the edition presented by Ghulām'Ḥusayn Yūsifī based on the genuine copy of Bodmer Library, Cologny (Geneva), the number of verses is 4011. However, others have noted it to contain even up to approximately 5000 verses. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin Wadh.Minasian 356

The work is a different version of the translation of Kalīlah va Dimnah by Abū al-Maʿalī Naṣr Allāh Munshī.

In this way, he managed to create the book of Anvār-i Suhaylī, one of the most important literary and moral works. Vāʿiẓ Kāshifī prepared the book in 14 chapters and bequeathed it to Amīr Shaykh Aḥmad Suhaylī, one of the rulers in the Sulṭān Ḥusayn Bayqurā's court. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin Wadh.Minasian 91

The author says that, according to the Quranic verse which says "Wa jādilhum bil-latī hī-ya aḥsan", the prophet and the impeccable Imāms had participated in many debates, and Islamic figures have also debated with many disbelievers and enemies of the religion of Islam. As it would be useful for the believers to know about these debates, I decided to collect most of them and translate anything found of them in Arabic into Persian. The result is now this book, containing 65 chapters, as follows: chapter one, On a debate between the prophet and the believers of the five religions; chapter two, On a debate between Ali (PBUH) and the Emigrants and the Helpers; chapter three, On a debate between Ali (PBUH) and Abu Bakr and Umar; chapter four, On a debate between Imam Hassan and his and his father's deniers; chapter five, On a debate between Imam Hossain and Umar bin Khaṭṭāb;... chapter 63, On a debate between an erudite person of the time and an erudite person from the opposition (Ahl-i Khalāf) in the land of India; chapter 64, On a debate between Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad Muʾmin al-Ṭāq and Ibn Abī Aḥz̤arah; chapter 65, An account of a strange story. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin Wadh.Minasian 559
