The story of Za'far Jinni in the event of 'Ashura is not mentioned in any authentic Shi'a or Islamic history sources. The only available report about Imam al-Husayn (a) and jinns is [[al-Majlisi]]'s report in ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]'' quoting from [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] who transmitted it from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] mentioning the meeting of some [[angel]]s and jinns with Imam al-Husayn (a) upon exiting [[Medina]]. It narrates that they offered to help Imam (a), but he (a) did not accept. However, no names of any certain time or place is mentioned. | The story of Za'far Jinni in the event of 'Ashura is not mentioned in any authentic Shi'a or Islamic history sources.<ref>Nūrī, ''Luʾluʾ wa l-marjān'', p. 252.</ref> The only available report about Imam al-Husayn (a) and jinns is [[al-Majlisi]]'s report in ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]'' quoting from [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] who transmitted it from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] mentioning the meeting of some [[angel]]s and jinns with Imam al-Husayn (a) upon exiting [[Medina]].

Among people, many stories have been spread about the relation between [[Ayatullah Burujirdi]] and Za'far Jinni. Especially different stories are mentioned about the [[death]] of Za'far and holding [[Funeral Procession]] for him by this [[Al-Marja'iyya|Shi'a marja']]. According to researches, such stories have no certain origin and there is nothing mentioned about it in the books and memories related to the biography of Ayatullah Burujirdi. | Among people, many stories have been spread about the relation between [[Ayatullah Burujirdi]] and Za'far Jinni.

Since there are not any authentic proofs about the relation between Ayatullah Burujirdi and Za'far, it seems that in laypeople's reports, a mistake has been made between this famous [[marja']] and an author with a similar name. Sayyid Ali Asghar Shafi' Jabolqi Borujerdi (d. 1313 SH/1933) who was among the scholars of Borujerd and the author of ''Tara'if al-maqal'', mentioned Za'far Jinni in his book and reported the story of the presence of Za'far Jinni in [[Karbala]] from one of his teachers, he regarded as reliable. | Since there are not any authentic proofs about the relation between Ayatullah Burujirdi and Za'far, it seems that in laypeople's reports, a mistake has been made between this famous [[marja']] and an author with a similar name.
