Saduqayn
Saduqayn means "the Two Saduqs" and refers to al-Shaykh al-Saduq and his father, Ibn Babiwayh.[1]
- Al-Shaykh al-Saduq, whose complete name was Muhammad b. Ali b. Husayn b. Musa b. Babiwayh al-Qummi was among Shi'a scholars of fourth/tenth century[2] and was regarded as the greatest scholar of Qom in hadiths and jurisprudence. Man la yahduruh al-faqih which is one of the Four Books of Shi'a is his most famous work.
- Ibn Babiwayh whose complete name was Ali b. Husayn b. Musa b. Babiwayh was al-Shaykh al-Saduq's father. He was a Shi'a scholar in jurisprudence and hadiths and the religious authority of the people of Qom and its surrounding areas.[3]
In jurisprudential works, when the two have expressed similar opinions, they are addressed as "Saduqayn".[4] Also, in cases when this word is in raf' state in Arabic, for example when it is positioned as Mubtada or the subject of the sentence, it will be changed as "Saduqan".[5]
