The book (Muajam Rijal Al-Hadeeth wa Tafdeel tabagat Al-Rwaat), is one of the important books on the science of men, which has a great scientific value. Sayyid Al-Khoei relied in this book on a distinguished method in the method of scientific research, through which he was able to produce this great book, which hardly a researcher in the science of men or one of its branches can dispense about him.

It was necessary to divide the research into an introduction, three topics and a conclusion, divided as follows:

The first axis: his life and his scientific biography, and it is divided into three paragraphs, the first: on his name and his scientific biography, the second: on his scientific output, the third: about his death, and the second axis: it is the approach of Sayyid Al-Khoei in writing the dictionary of men of hadith, and it is also divided into three Paragraphs, the first: his general approach in his book, the second: his approach to sources and references, the third: his approach to poetry.
