External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Al-Jafr (book). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110720165047/http://www.al-shia.org/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm to http://www.al-shia.org/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Comments

It seems safe to remove Hadiths alleging its existence without affecting the content. See WP:RS and WP:NOR and MOS Islam which advices against the use of hadiths as a primary source.
"[...] with others being Al-Jamia and the Book of Fatimah" can be moved to See also at the bottom of the page.
"the sixth Imam of Twelver and Ismai'ili Shia Islam" can be replaced with the simpler "sixth Shia Imam" and a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article.
Some repetitions in the lede can be avoided: the content of the book and its origins appear multiple times and are phrased differently each time.
I think al-Jafr should be italicized.
There is a dead link in the article (at least one).
The section about the content of al-Jafr has many repetitions which can be avoided perhaps.
Some of the websites that are used as sources can be moved to the external links at the end of the article and replaced by relatively more neutral sources, e.g., Burton's supplement.

Implemented the above comments, copy-edited the text, created a separate bibliography section and cleaned up the references. Albertatiran (talk) 16:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
