Abstract

The importance of handwritten copies for investigators is well known, especially those that contain historical significations, and many of the great scholars were known because of those significations, such as Ali Ben Fadl Ben Hickel al-Hilli, who is one of the scholars and jurists of the city of al-Hilla and one of the prominent students of Ibn Fahd Al-Hilli (d. 841 AH). Ibn Haykal copied jurisprudential letters of his teacher Ibn Fahd and other scholars from al-Hilla, as well as other historical and modern letters in one group; In addition, many other benefits have been conveyed in this collection, which today is a source of knowledge of the personal and scientific life of Hikel's son. And this valuable copy is found in Sayyid Hasan al-Sadr, who quoted it, and we have mentioned an index of this collection and its most important significations.
