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)

From Rayy (originally Qumm) Written about in 7 books, 12 entries

In the same isnād

Each stands next to his name in an isnād — one took straight from the other — and no book calls them teacher or pupil. Each row says where that comes from: a book's chain index, or the chains this database holds.
