'''Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-Ṭabarī''' known as '''al-Tabari al-Saghir''' or '''al-Tabari, the Third''' is a controversial character some [[Rijal]] scholars have considered him the author of ''[[Dala'il al-imama]]''. There is a disagreement among scholars about the historical existence of such a person and each group proposes their own justifications. Those who have accepted his existence, based on the evidences mentioned in ''Dala'il al-imma'', have considered him among the scholars contemporary with [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] and [[al-Najashi]] who most likely has been living in [[Baghdad]].

== Different Views about the Historical Existence of Tabari Saghir ==
== Views on Tabari Saghir ==
There are two people among Muslims called Muhammad b. Jarir Tabari, Abu Ja’far Muhammad b. Jarir b. Yazid Tabari (d. 310 AH) who was Sunni and author of Tafsir and Tarikh Tabari who is famous for his historical book and another, Abu Ja’far Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam Tabari (d. 329 AH) who was contemporary with Shaykh al-Kulayni, Shia and the author of al-Mustarshid fi al-Imama. Usually, to distinguish between the two, the second Tabari is called as Tabari, the Shia.
In history, there are two people among [[Muslims]] to have the name Muhammad b. Jarir Tabari.
 
# [[Abu Ja’far Muhammad b. Jarir b. Yazid Tabari]] (d. [[310]]/922-923), a [[Sunni]] Muslim, the author of [[Tafsir]] and Tarikh Tabari, who is also famous for his historical books.
However, discussing Dala’il al-Imama leads to the suggestion of a third Tabari. For many years, Dala’il al-Imama was regarded as the work of Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam Tabari, the Shia. But, in the book itself there are evidences which suggest that the work does not belong to Tabari, the Shia; thus, some researchers have thought that if the author of the book is not him, then there must be another Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam who lived after the author of al-Mustarshid and have suggested the existence of Tabari Kabir and Tabari Saghir and have proposed that the book is a work of Tabari Saghir.
# [[Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam|Abu Ja’far Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam Tabari]] (d. [[329]]/940-941), a [[Shia]] Muslim, contemporary with [[Shaykh al-Kulayni]], who is the author of [[al-Mustarshid fi al-Imama]].  
As a rule, to distinguish between the two, the second Tabari is called as Tabari the Shia.
However, the discussion on the author of [[Dala’il al-Imama]] led to the idea of a third Tabari. For some time, Dala’il al-Imama was thought to be the work of Muhammad b. Jarir b. Rustam Tabari the Shia. But in the book, there are indications that show the work does not belong to Tabari the Shia. Hence, they have suggested that the book is a work of a third Tabari.
