سهل بن زياد
Sahl ibn Ziyād
Sahl ibn Ziyād kept company with al-Jawād (ʿa), al-Hādī (ʿa) and al-ʿAskarī (ʿa) and was of Rayy (originally Qumm). The books are divided about him: Rijāl al-Ṭūsī holds him reliable, while Al-Fihrist, Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt and Rijāl al-Najāshī weaken him.
When he lived
The Prophet, then the twelve Imams in order in gold: al-Jawād (ʿa), al-Hādī (ʿa), al-ʿAskarī (ʿa)
