Zurarah ibn A'yan
Zurarah ibn A'yan kept company with al-Bāqir (ʿa), al-Ṣādiq (ʿa) and al-Kāẓim (ʿa) and was of Kufa (Shayban/Mawla) and died in 150 AH. Ikhtiyār Maʿrifat al-Rijāl, Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt, Muʿjam Rijāl al-Ḥadīth and Rijāl al-Ṭūsī hold him reliable.
When he lived
The Prophet, then the twelve Imams in order in gold: al-Bāqir (ʿa), al-Ṣādiq (ʿa), al-Kāẓim (ʿa)
