  • Tafseer Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.)

    This work is a contentious one as some of our major scholars do not recognize this as being a direct work of the 11th Imam and that it has only been attributed to them – due to this, some are careful of what they quote from this.

Tafsir Imam Hassan Askari has been reported to have been transmitted from the 11th Holy Imam – Imam Askari.
