1 – Sulaym b. Qays, al-Hilālī, al-ʿĀmirī. Narrated from the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام, al-Ḥasan عليه السلام , al-Ḥusayn عليه السلام and ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn عليه السلام . This famous book is attributed to him. Our companions would say that Sulaym is not known, and not mentioned in (any) report. I have found mention of him in places other than from the direction of his book, and not from the narration of Abān b. Abī ʿAyyash from him. Ibn ʿUqda has made mentioned ḥadīths from him in ‘Rijāl Amīr al-Mu’minīn.’ The book (attributed to Sulaym) is a forgery, no doubt about it. There is evidence showing what we have mentioned about it. From it: what it mentions about Muḥammad b. Abū Bakr exhorted his father at his death. And for it: that the Imams are thirteen. And other than that. The isnads of this book vary. Sometimes by the narration of ʿUmar b. Udhayna from Ibrāhīm b. ʿUmar al-Ṣanʿānī from Abān b. Abī ʿAyyāsh from Sulaym. And sometimes it is narrated from ʿUmar from Abān without an intermediary.
