[14] This genealogical report by Ibn Inabah provides brief but useful information about how the Alawi clan spread across its lands and places of residence, which is a suitable guide for historians.

Later historians and Hadith scholars such as "Kia Gilani" in the book "Seraj al-Ansab" (in Arabic: سراج الأنساب lit.

'The Seas of The Lights'), have greatly benefited from the book "Umdat al-Talib fi Ansabi Ale Abi Talib" by Ibn Inabah.

[citation needed] In the original manuscript of "Umdat al-Talib fi Ansabi Ale Abi Talib", the text of the book is rich and full of information, but it does not follow a specific order.

[47] The divisions and chapters of the book "Umdat al-Talib fi Ansabi Ale Abi Talib" are not clear and informative, and in order to find a person or his\her lineage, one must search its contents sufficiently.

For example, to finding the description of descendants and lineage of an Imam, the audience may have to examine a great deal of detail and needs to extensively search around them.

'The Seeker's Guide'), Ibn Inabah says that he wrote this book because a group of people doubted the genealogy of the family of Abi Talib.
