Interpretation and reception

The Emendation of a Shiite Creed (Tashih al-I'tiqad)

Shaykh al-Mufid

Distinguishes the purely faithful or wicked returning with the Qa'im from others awaiting resurrection; interprets bridge imagery, passes and weighing through theological argument rather than treating all imagery as physical description.
