179. ‘Abd Allah Bin Jundub al‐Bajali
He was an Arab Kufan. He is among the companions of Imam al‐Kazim and of al‐Rida, peace be on
them. Al‐Shaykh al‐Tusi has said: “He was the representative of Imam Musa and his son al‐Rida.
He was worshipful and had a high position.” Concerning him, al‐Kashi has narrated: “He (‘Abd
Allah b. Jundub) asked Imam Abi al‐Hasan: ‘Are you pleased with me?’ ‘Yes,’ he answered, ‘Allah
and His Apostle are pleased with you!’” On the authority of al‐Hasan b. ‘Ali b. Yaqteen, who has
said: “It was said to Abi al‐Hasan (Musa) that Yunus, the retainer of the family of Yaqteen, claimed
that your follower who clang to obeying you, ‘Abd Allah b. Jundub, worshipped Allah (very shakily)
on seventy edges and said that he was doubtful.” The Imam, peace be on him, has answered: “By
Allah, he (Yunus) is more worthy to worship Allah (very shakily) on the edge; there is a great
difference between him and ‘Abd Allah b. Jundub; surely ‘Abd Allah (b. Jundub) is among the
humble.”[4] On the authority of ‘Ali b. Ibrahim, on the authority of his father, who has said: “I
have seen ‘Abd Allah b. Jundub in the Standing Place‐the Standing place of ‘Arafa. I have never
seen a standing place better than his. He stretched out his hands towards the heaven and his
tears flowed down his cheeks and reached the ground. When the people left, I said to him: ‘Abu
Muhammed, I have never seen a standing place better than yours.’ He said to me: ‘By Allah, in it I
did not invoke Allah (for nothing) but for my brothers; that is because Abu al‐Hasan Musa, peace
be on him, had told me that whoever invoked (Allah) for his absent, believing brother, someone
would call out from the Throne: ‘You will get a hundred thousand (rewards) for each (word).’ I
hated to invoke (Allah) for a hundred thousand times for one (need); I did not know whether it
was granted or [1] Ibid.

not.’”[1]
‘Abd Allah b. Jundub has been regarded as reliable in (the books) al‐Wajiza, al‐Hawi, and
Mushtarakat al‐Tarahi. The biographers have unanimously agreed that none has criticized him and
that he is trustworthy without any objection.[2]
180. ‘Abd Allah Bin Khaddash al‐Mihri[3]
Al‐Najashi has said: “He is very weak; there is immoderation in his creed. He has a book of which
Ibn Shadan has informed us.”[4] Al‐Kashi has said: (Mahmud b. Mas‘ud has said:) “Yousif b. al‐
Sakht has said: ‘I have heard b. Khaddash say: ‘I have never shaken hand with a Dhimi, nor have I
entered the house of a Dhimi; I have never taken a medicine, nor have I ordered a vein to be
open. I have never left Friday Ghusul. I have never visited a governor, nor has a judge visited
me.’”[5]
