hadith.
Any way, many companions of Imam Musa played an important role in writing books and
publishing Islamic civilization, to the extent that they filled the Arab and Islamic Library in their
time with their valuable writings. This shows that they spared no effort to hoist the flag of
knowledge, to set right morals, and to correct the opinions.
Ahmed b. Khalid has mentioned that the number of the companions of Imam Musa was a
hundred and sixty.[1] This is a manifest mistake if he wanted to limit them, for the result of the
scrutiny is that most of those who attained the school of Imam al‐Sadiq, peace be on him,
continued after his death their studies under Imam Musa al‐Kazim. Perhaps, by this number, al‐
Barqi meant those great figures from among them excluding that inferior to them in the ranks of
the science of Islamic jurisprudence, hadith, and knowledge.
We will mention the biographies of some of Imam Musa’s companions and the narrators of his
traditions. We have alphabetically ordered them; they are as follows:
1. Aban Bin ‘Uthman
Aban b. ‘Uthman al‐Lu’lu’i, known as al‐Ahmar al‐Bajali, lived in Kufa and Basrah; he narrated
(traditions) on the authority of Abu ‘Abd Allah al‐Sadiq and his son al‐Kazim. Abu Amru al‐Kashi
has mentioned that the Shi’a have unanimously agreed on the authenticity of the traditions
correctly reported from him, and they have acknowledged his ability in the science of Islamic
jurisprudence.[2] Among the Basris who studied under him are Abu ‘Ubayda b. Mu’ammar b. al‐
Muthanna, Abu ‘Abd Allah b. al‐Muthanna, Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammed b. Salam al‐Jahmi. He
wrote a book in which he has gathered: the beginning (al‐mabda’), the return (al‐ma‘ad), the
resurrection, (al‐mab‘ath), the campaigns (al‐ma‘gazi), the shelter (al‐saqifa), and apostasy (al‐
ridda).[3] Ibn Hayyan has mentioned in (his book) al‐Thiqat and said: “He makes mistakes and errs
(in narrating traditions). He was given the kunya of Abu ‘Abd Allah. He lived in Basrah and Kufa. He
was an author and a genealogist. Abu ‘Ubayda and Muhammed b. Salam al‐Jahmi studied under
him.” Al‐Tusi has mentioned him (in his book) Rijal al‐Shi’a and said that he narrated (traditions)
on the authority of Ja’far b. Muhammed and Musa b. Ja‘far. Muhammed b. Abi ‘Umar has said:
“Aban was the greatest of the people in memorizing (the Qur’an by heart).”[4] [1] Al‐Barqi, Rijal.
