Machine summary:

Mulla Fathullah has written his book in the style of Muntajab al-Din, meaning he has narrated forty hadiths from forty sources regarding the virtues of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him). 2 In this regard, Sahib al-Dhari'a, among the 48 books identified under the name "Arba'un Haditha," has identified about 61 books named "Arba'un Haditha" regarding the virtues and merits of Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him),3 one of which is the book titled "Arba'un Haditha" regarding the virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) authored by Mulla Fathullah Wa'iz, which until now (1)-Abd al-Jabbar Rifa'i, Mu'jam ma Kutiba 'an al-Rasul wa Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), Tehran, Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, 1371 SH, vol. If we consider the evidence of Dr. Sayyid Hasan Sadat Naseri to be correct, stating that the birth of Mirza Rafie al-Din Muhammad Qazvini was in Dhu al-Hijjah 720 AH2, and considering that the author of the Arba'in book, namely Mulla Fathullah Qazvini, mentions Muqaddas Ardabili, Ahmad bin Muhammad (died 399 AH), with the title "rahimahullah" in the seventh, tenth, eleventh, seventeenth, thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth hadiths of his book, then he must certainly have composed the Arba'in book after this date.
