The Leiden Arabic Humanities and Islamic Thought Blog features a post by Aun Hasan Ali

°Õ³ó±ðÌý features a post by Aun Hasan Ali about his recent contribution (co-authored with Hadi Qazwini and Yusuf Ünal) to .

"Our contribution to the volume comes from a commentary titled al-W�fī fī sharḥ al-W�fiya by the scion of a legendary family of Iraqi sayyids: Muḥsin b. al-Ḥasan al-Aʿrajī (d. 1812), also known as al-Muḥaqqiq al-K�ẓimī (not to be confused with Asad All�h b. Ism�ʿīl al-Tustarī [d. 1819 or 1821], the author of Kashf al-qin�ʿ). A sharp critic of Akhb�rism, al-Aʿrajī is counted among the foremost champions of Uṣūlism in the eighteenth century. The original text, al-W�fiya fī uṣūl al-fiqh by al-F��il al-Tūnī (d. 1660), contains one of the earliest responses to Muḥammad Amīn al-Astar�b�dī's (d. 1626) devastating criticism of developments in Twelver Shīʿī law since Ilkh�nid times."
