Al-Tawhid (book): Difference between revisions

'''Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn 'Ali 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 [[Shi'a]] [[traditionist]]s 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.
