The late Mullah Mohammad Hassan Nasehi Taherabadi was one of the famous scholars of Taherabad, Kashan, who acquired a reputation in asceticism, piety and jurisprudence. Unfortunately, there is nothing left from his works except for a manuscript of Al Wafi- a book by the late Allameh Feyz Kashani. This work indicates features such as calligraphy his mastery of Arabic as well as the breadth of his knowledge of the Quran, hadith, and jurisprudence. Therefore, the authors have tried to briefly introduce Allameh Feyz and his book Wafi by descriptive and analytical methods to study and analyze the content of the bibliographic elements of the manuscript of the late Mullah Mohammad Hassan Nasehi Taherabadi and to review the bibliographic information of this work.
