The book “Taqrib al-Maarif” author Abu Salah Taqi ibn Najm al-Halabi.

In the intro of that book is written:

وكان هذا الكتاب قد طبع بتحقيق المحقق الخبير الشيخ رضا الأستادي حفظه الله سنة 1404 هـ في قم،ولمراعاة بعض الظروف آنذاك حذف منه ما يتعلق بإبطال خلافة القوم، الذي يحتل نصف الكتاب تقريبا،مع الإشارة إلى أماكن الحذف

Translation:

And this book was printed by research (tahqiq) of expert researcher ash-Shaykh Rida al-Ustadi, hafizahullah in 1404 in the Qum, AND TAKING IN ACCOUNT SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, (HE) DELETED FROM IT WHAT WAS DEDICATED TO DESTROYING OF CALIPHATE OF THE GROUP, WHICH WAS CONTENT OF ALMOST THE HALF OF THE BOOK, WITH SHOWING THE PLACES WHERE DELETION TOOK PLACE….

As you can see shia researcher decided to delete the part which was dedicated to critic of caliphate of shaykhan and Usman and others. What for?
