صفوان بن يحيى
Safwan ibn Yahya
Safwan ibn Yahya kept company with al-Kāẓim (ʿa), al-Riḍā (ʿa) and al-Jawād (ʿa) and was of Kufa and died in 210 AH. Al-Fihrist, Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt, Rijāl al-Najāshī and Rijāl al-Ṭūsī hold him reliable.
When he lived
The Prophet, then the twelve Imams in order in gold: al-Kāẓim (ʿa), al-Riḍā (ʿa), al-Jawād (ʿa)
