This collection, authored by Sheikh Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Babawayh al-Qummi, caters specifically to the needs of laypeople who may lack access to scholarly interpretation. It serves as a practical guide, presenting Hadith that are pertinent to everyday life. The title, translating to “For the One Who Is Not Present,” signifies its role in guiding non-experts in understanding religious obligations and rituals, making it an invaluable resource for personal conduct.
