He reported traditions on the authority of Abi al‐Hasan (Musa), peace be on him, in the Chapter<br />

125. Zakariya Bin Muhammed, Abu ‘Abd Allah al‐Mu’min<br />

He reported traditions on the authority of Abi ‘Abd Allah (al‐Sadiq) and Abi al‐Hasan (Musa),<br />

peace be on them. He met al‐Rida in al‐Mesjid al‐Haram (the Holy Mosque in Mecca). (The<br />

traditionists) have reported from him something indicating that he is a Waqifite. He is confused in<br />

his traditions. He has a book (entitled) Muntahal al‐Hadith (Plagiarized Traditions).[1] His<br />

weakness has been mentioned in (the books) al‐Wajiza and al‐Hawi. Ibn al‐Nadeem has<br />

mentioned him in (his book) al‐Fihrast as among the Shi‘ite jurists.<br />

believer or setting him free or repaying his debt. Ziyad, the easiest thing with which Allah punishes<br />

them is that He en<strong>com</strong>passes them with curtains of fire until He has finished reckoning creatures.<br />

Ziyad, if you assume any of their work, then be kind to your brothers; therefore, a work for a<br />

work; and Allah is behind that. Ziyad, if one assumes a work for them and makes you and them<br />

equal, then say to him: You are a personator and liar! Ziyad, if you remember your power over the<br />

people, then remember the power of Allah, the Great and almighty, over you tomorrow; what you<br />
