''Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-Ṭabarī''' known as '''al-Tabari al-Saghir''' or '''al-Tabari, the Third''' is a disputed figure that 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 while 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]], most likely has lived in [[Baghdad]]. | |||

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, | # [[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. | |||
