'''Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn (a)''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|جعفر بن محمد بن علي بن الحسین}}), (b. [[83]]/ | '''Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn (a)''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|جعفر بن محمد بن علي بن الحسین}}), (b. [[83]]/[[702 CE|702]] – d. [[148]]/[[765 CE|765]]) known as '''Imām al-Ṣādiq (a)''' ({{ia|الإمام الصادق}}), is the sixth [[Imam]] of [[Shi'a]] and the fifth Imam of [[Isam'ilis]]. His Imamate was concurrent with the reign of the last five [[Umayyad caliphs]] (that is, from [[Hisham b. 'Abd al-Malik]] onwards) and with that of the first two [[Abbasid caliphs]], [[al-Saffah]] and [[al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi]]. Because of the weakness of the Umayyad rule at his time, Imam al-Sadiq (a) was able to have relatively wider scholarly activities. His companions, students, and those who quoted hadiths from him is said to have amounted to four-thousand people. Most of the hadiths of Ahl al-Bayt (a) recorded in Twelver Shiite hadith collections are from Imam al-Sadiq (a). This is why [[Twelver Shiism]] is called Ja'fari School. | ||
Imam al-Sadiq (a) has had a high status in the eyes of prominent Sunni scholars. [[Abu Hanifa]] and [[Malik b. Anas]] were among the people who quoted hadiths from him. The former considered him the most knowledgeable person among Muslims. In 1378 AH/1958-9, [[Shaykh Mahmud Shaltut]], the president of al-Azhar, recognized the Ja'fari school as a legitimate Islamic school of jurisprudence. | Imam al-Sadiq (a) has had a high status in the eyes of prominent Sunni scholars.
