According to the ''Encyclopaedia of Islam'' and the ''Encyclopaedia Islamica'', he was born in Abhar, a small town between Qazvin and Zanjan in the North-West of Iran. The claim of G.C. Anawati making him a native of Mosul in Iraq, taken from the fact that al-Abharī was educated by a scientist from Mosul, Kamāl al-Dīn ibn Yūnus al-Mawṣilī, must also been dismissed. None of his oldest biographers mentioned Mosul as his birthplace, and al-Abharī himself indicated that he had gone to Mosul for this purp ...

The work presents itself as a dialogue between al-Mufaddal and the Shi'i Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (–765), who is the main speaker.. Like most other works attributed to al-Mufaddal, the was in fact written by a later, anonymous author who took advantage of al-Mufaddal's status as one of the closest confidants of Ja'far al-Sadiq in order to ascribe their own ideas to the illustrious Imam. However, it differs from other treatises attributed to al-Mufaddal by the absence of any content that is specifically Shi'i in nature, a trait it shares with only one other Mufaddal work—also dealing with a rational proof for the existence of God—the ('Book of the Myrobalan Frui ...
