Adam b. 'Abd Allah al-Ash'ari al-Qummi
Ādam b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Saʿd al-Ashʿarī al-Qummī (Arabic: آدم بن عبدالله بن سعد الأشعري القمي) (b. between 60 AH/680 and 65 AH/685 – d. c. 185 AH/801) was a Shi'a Imami narrator[1] and a companion of Imam al-Sadiq (a).[2]
He belonged to the Ash'ari family.[3] His children, Zakariyya b. Adam and Ishaq,[4] and his grandchildren, Ali b. Adam and Adam b. Ishaq,[5] were narrators of hadith. Some authors, citing a hadith in al-Khisal by al-Shaykh al-Saduq,[6] have stated that Adam b. Abd Allah also narrated hadith from Imam al-Rida (a) through his son, Zakariyya.[7]
His brother, 'Imran b. 'Abd Allah, was praised by Imam al-Sadiq (a), who described him and his family with phrases such as "from the chosen Ahl al-Bayt, from the family of the noble ones (nujabā'), and noble among the people of nobility."[8] However, some sources attribute this praise to Adam b. Abd Allah.[9]
It is estimated that Adam b. Abd Allah was born in Kufa between 60 AH/680 and 65 AH/685.[10] He spent his childhood and adolescence in Kufa, then migrated to Qom, where he resided until the end of his life.[11] His death is reported to have occurred around 185 AH/801 at the age of 120.[12] His grave is located in the old cemetery of Qom (Babilan), near the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatima al-Ma'suma (a).[13]
