He is better known as Abu ‘Abd Allah al‐Barqi.[4] In his book al‐Rijal, Shaykh al‐Tusi has numbered
him as among the companions of Imam al‐Kazim, peace be on him. He was a writer and had good
knowledge of traditions and the sciences of the Arabs. He has some books of which are Kitab al‐
Tanzil wa al‐Ta‘bir (a Book on Revelation and Expression), Kitab Youm wa Layla ( a Book on a Day
and a Night), Kitab al‐Tafseer (a Book on the Exegesis of Qur’anic Verses), Kitab Mecca wa al‐
Medina (A Book on Mecca and al‐Medina), Kitab Harb al‐Aws wa al‐Khazrajj (a Book on the Battle
between al‐Aws and al‐Khazrajj), Kitab al‐‘Ilal (a Book on the Causes), Kitab ‘Ilm al‐Baari (a Book on
the Knowledge of the Creator), and Kitab al‐Khutab (a Book on Sermons).[5] Concerning him Ibn
al‐Ghada’iri has said: “Surely, he knows and denies in his traditions; he has narrated many
traditions on the authority of the weak narrators and depended on incompletely transmitted
hadith (mursal).” Al‐Najashi has said: “He is weak in his hadith.” Another group (of reporters) has
regarded him as reliable.[6]
