 Narrations received from Imam al-Sadiq (a) are a diverse collection in different issues concerning [[fiqh]] and [[kalam]] and that is why [[Shi'a]] school is called [[Ja'fari school]]. The freedom found at the beginning of the third decade of the second/eighth century, helped people more freely turn to Imam al-Sadiq (a) and ask him about the solution of their problems in fiqh and other fields.<ref>Shahidi, ''Zindigani imam Sadiq'', p.61</ref>
-About Imam al-Sadiq (a), Ibn Hajar al-Haytami wrote that, "People narrated so much from his knowledge that his fame reached all cities. Great leaders such as Yahya b. Sa'id, Ibn Jurayh, Malik, Sufyan b. 'Uyayna, Sufyan al-Thuri, [[Abu Hanifa]], Shu'ba b. al-Hajjaj, and Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani narrated from him."<ref>Al-Haytami, ''al-Sawa'iq al-muhriqa'', p.201</ref>
 Scholars have not narrated from any other member of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] as much as they narrated from him and none of them had as many students as Imam al-Sadiq (a) had. People of hadiths have counted narrators of his hadiths as many as four thousand people.<ref>Al-Irbili, Kashf al-ghumma, vol.2 p.166</ref>
