Day 5

The lesson

1. He told his companions not to help the Abbasids, and forbade Safwan al-Jammal to hire out his camels to Harun; yet he allowed Ali ibn Yaqtin to stay as Harun's minister to serve the Shia (Rijal al-Kashshi). He wrote to Ali ibn Yaqtin to perform wudu' as the Sunnis do, to keep him from danger (al-Irshad).
2. He took no open part in the Alid uprisings. When the head of the martyr of Fakhkh (169 AH) was brought, he recited the verse of return to God and praised him (Maqatil al-Talibiyyin of Abu l-Faraj al-Isfahani); al-Hadi accused the Imam of ordering the uprising and threatened to kill him.
3. Many hadiths come from him on the oneness of God, bada', faith and ethics (al-Kafi); his counsel on the intellect to Hisham ibn al-Hakam is in al-Kafi, and the supplication al-Jawshan al-Kabir is transmitted from him. 'Aziz Allah 'Atarudi gathered 3,134 of his hadiths in Musnad al-Imam al-Kazim.
