Shuhada al fazilat
Shuhadā' al-faḍīla' (Arabic: شُهَداء الفَضیلة), lit. martyrs of the virtue) is a book by 'Allama Amini involving the biographies of 130 martyred scholars and the way they were martyred. The book contains the biographies of 130 scholars who were martyred in the path of Islamic principles and social virtues, or were martyred for having such positions. A great number of people mentioned in the book are those who were martyred because of their Shiism and their belief in the wilaya of Imam Ali (a) and his family. Amini has mentioned martyred Shiite scholars from the forth/tenth century onwards without mentioning scholars in the early three centuries, because their biographies are provided in many books and encyclopedias. Under a section called "Dhayl" (appendix), the author has provided biographies of some well-known martyred Shi'as who were prominent figures, though they were not known as scholars.
