علي بن مهزيار
Ali ibn Mahziyar
Ali ibn Mahziyar kept company with al-Riḍā (ʿa), al-Jawād (ʿa) and al-Hādī (ʿa) and was of Ahwaz. 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-Riḍā (ʿa), al-Jawād (ʿa), al-Hādī (ʿa)
