Synopsis

What does it mean to live in the world without becoming consumed by it?

Kitāb al-Zuhd explores this question through narrations from the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt. Compiled by al-Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī, this early Shia collection addresses worldly attachment, moral discipline, piety and remembrance of the Hereafter.

Its teachings present detachment as an inward discipline compatible with an active, responsible life. In this English translation, Tahir Ridha Jaffer makes the collection accessible to readers seeking both an introduction to early Shia spirituality and guidance for personal reflection.
