This book was translated into Farsi by one of his students – 'Abou Ali Osmani' and edited by 'B. Forouzanfar'. It has been rare to translate manuscripts word-by-word as the tendency has been towards the free translation. Although 'Osmani' apparently has tried to be faithful to the text, his translation contains some errors. Some of the errors are corrected by 'Forouzanfar' but there are still many more cases of mistranslation. In this paper, we have studied four chapters: 'Tobeh', 'Vará', 'Zohd', and 'Khalvat', and have suggested more corrections and comments to the translation.
