Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei
Tuhaf al-Uqul and Ibn Shu'bah have been commended by another Shia scholars. Muhammad Baqir Majlesi and Sheikh Abdul Hosein Amini are some of the scholars that commend this book and its author in their works. Also, this book has been much respected among Alawites. However, while admitting to grace and great God-wariness of Ibn Shu'bah, Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei has considered Tuhaf al-Uqul as not reliable in Fiqh discussion because Ibn Shu’bah has omitted all references of hadiths.
