'''Abu Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn ʿAli ibn Al-Ḥusayn ibn Mūsā al-Qummī''' (ابوجعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن موسی القمي) (after 305/917 — 381/991), commonly known as '''al-Shaykh al-Saduq''' (الشيخ الصدوق), or '''Ibn Babawayh''' (ابن بابويه), was one of the greatest Shiʿa [[traditionist|traditionists]] and the compiler of ''[[Man la yahduruh al-faqih]]'', one of [[the Four Books]] of the Shi'a. | |||
Al-Shaykh al-Saduq was the most prominent traditionist and scholar of the [[hadith school of Qom]]. Al-Saduq began teaching and narrating hadith from a young age, and continued to do so during his travels. He had many students, and many scholars narrate [[hadith]] on his authority. His epithet, al-Saduq (the Truthful), indicates his reliability as a transmitter of [[hadith]] in the eyes of Shi'a scholars. | |||
