Gibbon may have been whatever you think or maybe not but some of the facts he reported are right though his interpretation of facts maybe corrupted by the funny and crooked ideas of the Orientalists of his time. The declaration of Imam Hakim as tenth manifestation of God has been reported by many historian and the misinterpretation by some gave rise to the movements such as Druzes.

And doubts in the minds of some led Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah to declare that his religion is same as reported by Imam Hakim. And we know how much Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah was fond of the history of Imam Hakim and of Farmans he had made in public, many of whom were reported by Baron Sylveste de Sacy in his magistral thesis titled "Expose de la Religion des Druzes" in 1838 for which our Imam said to Chief Missionnary Husseini that even if he had to learn French to read this one book, it was worth it.

Can you recommend me any book in which I can read Farmans and Sermons or Imam Al Hakim?

According to information, the present Dai al Mutalek of Daudi Bohra community has hundreds of books in Arabic and manuscripts in his personal library from Yemen and Fatimid period. Mostly are not translated yet in any varnacular languages of subcontinent. Ismaili libraries do not have such treasure. Contact any Bohra community member in Karachi or visit Bohra library at Hydari north Nazimabad.

Bohoras have a huge manuscripts library in Surat, India with probably Farmans of Imam Hakim. If you know French, you can start with Expose de la religion des Druzes which is available online now.
