Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ

جعفر بن محمد بن مفضل

The ascription of this book to Ibn al-Ghaḍāʾirī is disputed; al-Khoei held it unproven («الكتاب المنسوب إلى ابن الغضائري… لم يثبت»).

كوفي. يروي عنه الغلاة خاصة. وما رأيت له - قط - رواية صحيحة. وهو متهم في كل أحواله.

Kufan. The ghulāt narrate from him exclusively. I have never seen a single sound (ṣaḥīḥ) narration for him. He was accused in all his aspects.

Jāmiʿ al-Ruwāt

p. 160
جعفر بن محمد بن مفضل كوفي يروى عنه الغلاة خاصة قال ابن الغضائري انه كان خطابيا في مذهبه ضعيفا في حديثه وكتابه لم يرو الا من طريق واحد [صه]

The Ghulat (extremists) specifically narrate from him. Ibn al-Ghada'iri said he was Kattabi in doctrine and weak in his hadith... I have not seen a correct narration from him and he is accused in all his states.
