Praises of some Scholars on a group of Tabi’in and others from Ahl Al-Bait:

Muhammad bin Ali bin Abi Talib (famously known as Ibn Al-Hanafiyyah Rahimahullah)

Ibn Hibban said in his book Thiqaat AtTabi’in (Vol.5, page: 347): “He was among the virtuous ones of His household.

And in his biography in Tahdhib AlKamal of Al-Mizi, Ahmad bin Abdullah AlAjaliy said about him: “the trustworthy Tabi’e, he was a righteous man… and Ibrahim bin Abdullah bin Al-Junaid said: we do not know anyone who narrated from Ali from the Prophet more Hadiths, nor more authentic Hadiths than Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyyah”.

And in As-Siyar of Adh-Dhahabi (Vol.4, page: 115), it is narrated from Isra’eel, that Abdul A’ala (he is ibn A’mir) said: “that Muhammad bin Ali was nicknamed Abu AlQasim, and he was pious and full of knowledge”.

He also said about him: “The honorable Imam Abu Al-Qasim and Abu Abdullah”.

Ali bin Al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Rahimahullah)

Ibn Sa’ad said in At-Tabaqaat (Vol.5, page: 222): “Ali bin Al-Hussein was trustworthy, honest; he reported many Hadiths and was high and pious”.

And Ibn Taimiyah said in Minhaj AsSunnah (Vol.4, page: 48): “As for Ali bin AlHussein, he is among the great Tabi’ins and the distinguished in knowledge and piety”.

And in his biography in Tahdhib AlKamal of Al-Mizi, Sufyan ibn Uyainah narrated from Az-Zuhri that he said: “I have not seen a Quriashian better than Ali bin Al-Hussein”.

A similar meaning has been transmitted from Abu Hazim, Zaid bin Aslam, Malik and bin

Yahya

(Rahimahumullah).

Sa’eed

Al-Ansari

Al-Ajli said: “Ali bin Al-Hussein was among the best of his household, the best of them in obedience, and the most beloved towards Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Abdul Malik bin Marwan”.

Adh-Dhahabi said in As-Siyar (vol. 4, page: 386): “The honorable Imam Zain AlAbidin, the Hashemite, the descendant of Ali, the Medinian”.

And Ibn Hajar said in At-Taqreeb: “Trustworthy authentic, devoted worshipper, learned, virtuous and famous”. Muhammad bin Ali bin Al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Rahimahullah)

Among things, which show the respect of Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari for him, it is reported in Sahih Muslim (1218) in the long Hadith in describing Hajj, on the authority of Ja’afar bin Muhammad (and he is the son of Ali bin Al-Hussein); he narrated from his father that he said: “We entered to Jabir bin Abdullah, he asked about the people till he reached me, I said: ‘I am Muhammad bin Ali bin Al-Hussein, he bowed with his hand on my head, he removed my upper button, and then removed the lower one. He then placed his hand between my breast and I was by then a little boy, he said: welcome to you the son of my brother! Ask about what you wish… I said: ‘tell me about the Hajj of the Messenger of Allâh’. He narrated to him his long Hadith in description of the Prophet’s Hajj.

And Ibn Taimiyah said in Minhaj AsSunnah (Vol. 4, age: 50): “And Abu Ja’afar Muhammad bin Ali is also among the best people of knowledge and religion. It is said that he is named (Al-Ba’qir) because he has ripped (acquired) knowledge, not that the sujud (prostration) has marked his forehead.

And Al-Mizi said in his biography in Tahdhib Al-Kamal: “Al-Ajli said: Medinian, trustworthy Tabi’e, and Ibn Al-Burqi said: ‘he was learned and virtuous”.

Adh-Dhahabi said in As-Siyar (Vol. 4, pages: 401-402): “He is the honorable Imam Abu Ja’afar Muhammad bin Ali bin Al-Hussein bin Ali Al-Alawi, Al-Fatimi, AlMadani, the son of Zain Al-Abidin… He was one of those who combined between knowledge and work, honor and dignity, reliability and calmness. He was fit for the Caliphate, and he is one of the twelve Imams whom the Imamate Shiites glorify and believe that they are infallible and sinless and that they know all about the religion. Indeed none is infallible and sinless except the Angels and the Prophets. Everyone can be right or wrong, and his word can be accepted or rejected save that of the Prophet, verily he was infallible and assisted with divine revelation.

Abu Ja’afar was famously known as AlBa’qir from the word “baqara al-ilm” to rip open knowledge i.e. to cut it, (this means) he knew its source of origin and its secrets, Abu Ja’afar was a hardworking Imam, a reciter of the Holy Qur’an, great…”.

He also said (page: 403): “An-Nasa’e and others has considered him among the learned Ta’bi’eens in Medina, and the Hufaz (people who memorize lots of Hadith and other knowledge) have agreed in accepting his narrations”.

Ja’afar bin Muhammad bin Ali bin AlHussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Rahimahullah)

Imam Ibn Taimiyah said in Minhaj AsSunnah (Vol. 4, page: 52-53): “Ja’afar AsSadiq (the truthful) is one of the chosen people of knowledge and religion… and Amr bin Abi Al-Miqdam said: ‘whenever I look at Ja’afar I know that he is from the offspring of the Prophets”.
He described him in his book: The virtue of Ahl Al-Bait and their rights and said in (page: 35): “The Sheik of the scholars of the Ummah”.

And Adh-Dhahabi said in As-Siyar (Vol.6, page: 255): “The truthful Imam, the Sheik of Banu Hashim, Abu Abdullah AlQurashi, Al-Hashimi, Al-Alawi, An-Nabawi, Al-Madani one of the distinguished personalities”.

He said about him and his father: “And they were among the honorable scholars of Medina”.

He said in Tadhkiratul Hufaz (Vol.1, page: 150): “As-Shafi’e declared him trustworthy and so did Yahya bin Ma’een. It is narrated from Abu Hanifah that he said: ‘I have not seen a (person) more learned in fiqh than Ja’afar bin Muhammad’. And Abu Hatim said about him: Trustworthy, there is no need to ask about a person like him’ (i.e. His no one doubted about his integrity.)
Ali bin Abdullah bin Al-Abbas (Rahimahullah) Ibn Sa’ad said in At-Tabaqaat (Vol. 5 page: 313): “Ali bin Abdullah bin Al-Abbas was the youngest son of his father, the most handsome Quraishian on earth, the most good looking, and the most plentiful of them in prayers. He was called: As-Sajaad (full of prostration in prayer) because of his plenty of worship and virtue”.

He also said (in page: 314): “He was trustworthy but reported only few Hadith”.

And in Tahdhib Al-Kamal of Mizi: “Al-Ajli and Abu Zur’ah said about him: “trustworthy” and Amr bin Ali said: “He was among the chosen people and Ibn Hibban has mentioned him in his book At-thiqaat” (the trusted persons).

Adh-Dhahabi said in As-Siyar (Vol. 5, page 252): “The honorable Imam Abu Alkhala’ef, Abu Muhammad Al-Hashimi AsSajaad (i.e. full of prostration)…learned and great, he worked with his knowledge, corpulent, good looking, tall, and august
