Transmission and Nomenclature
The work consists of hadith transmissions dictated by Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Samad ibn Musa ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Abbas al-Hashimi al-Baghdadi . The text was transmitted from the author by Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Salt al-Mujabbir, and from him by Abu Abd Allah Malik ibn Ahmad ibn Ali al-Baniyasi .

The collection includes various prophetic traditions transmitted by al-Hashimi through family and regional isnads, including reports transmitted through his father Abd al-Samad ibn Musa, such as the hadith: أكرموا الشهود فإن الله عز وجل يستخرج بهم الحقوق ويدفع بهم الظلم ("Honor witnesses, for through them God Almighty extracts rights and averts injustice") .
