صباح بن يحيى أبو محمد المزني كوفي
Sabah bin Yahya al-Mazani
Sabah bin Yahya al-Mazani kept company with al-Bāqir (ʿa) and al-Ṣādiq (ʿa) and was of Kufan. The books are divided about him: Rijāl al-Najāshī holds him reliable, while Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ weakens him.
When he lived
The Prophet, then the twelve Imams in order in gold: al-Bāqir (ʿa), al-Ṣādiq (ʿa)
