The Glad Tidings of Mustafa for the Shia of Murtaza (HBK)- Shaykh Al Tabari
The book, The Glad Tidings of Mustafa for the Shia of Murtaz’a, boasts a collection of over five hundred and ninety narrations, whose sources are amongst the most widely-recognized and accepted narrators in the Shia world.
This book is truly an invaluable Shia resource, containing narrations which provide an ocean of knowledge for the heart that is open to receive them. Each Hadith is truly a precious treasure which requires careful reading, understanding, and reflection, for it is as Imam Abu Abdillah Jaafar in Mohammad Al-Sadiq says, “It is better to understand one Hadith than to narrate a thousand."
The term "Shia" is often misunderstood and there is no better way to define a true Shia than the narrations in in this book.

REVIEW
Excellent English translation of a classical Shi'i text enumerating the various virtues of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib and the Shi'a of the Ahlul Bayt. Like the previous reviewer has mentioned, this is not a book on theology or any other matter but rather a book that discusses the characteristics and rewards for the true Shi'a of Imam Ali and the Ahlul Bayt. It is very difficult to find quality translation of books this ancient, however the publisher has done a wonderful job of rendering the text for the benefit of an English speaking readership. The only fault with the book is the lack of the original Arabic, which would have been of benefit for those who enjoy studying these works in their original language.
