Birth

edit

Abu Ali Hamzeh Ibn Abdul Aziz, known as Sallar Deylami (died in 448 or 463 Lunar Hijrah)[1] was a Shia Jurist and religious scholar during the fifth lunar hijrah. He was born in the last half of fourth lunar hijrah, in Deylaman. He was the candidate of Shaykh Mufid and Sharif al-Murtaza in the affairs of teaching and education. He was versed in different disciplines and subjects but his dominance in fiqh is more prevalent. He is considered to be an eminent pupil of Shaykh Mufid and Sayyed Murtaza. He is also considered to be an important religious scholar after the occultation of Imam Mahdi the twelfth Shia Imam. His title, Abu Ya'li, designates dignity and superiority. The name Sallar may be an Arabized form of the Persian Salar.

This book is considered among the early books on Shia jurisprudence. The part on peace is an independent section in Al-Marasem.[2]
