Some of the narrators from him include his son, Ja’far Sadiq, Hakam Ibn ‘Atibah, Rabi’ahi, ‘A’mash, Abu ‘Is’haq Sabi’i, ‘Awza’i, ‘A’raj, Ibn Jurayh, ‘Ata’, ‘Amr Ibn Dinar, and Zahri.

Sufyan Ibn ‘Ayinah has narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “My father narrated traditions for me, while he was the best one in (S)’s nation.” ‘Ajali has said about him, “He was one of the most trustworthy followers of Prophet (S)’s companions in Medina.” Muhammad Ibn Sa’d has said about Imam Baqir (a.s.), “He was trustworthy and narrated many traditions.”[^14] Furthermore, Abul Fida’ has written about Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Husayn Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib was son of Ziynul ‘abidin and grandson of Husayn, who was martyred in Karbala.

He was called Baqir, because he split knowledge and deducted the rules. He was a humble patient person from the Prophet (S)’s family. He was lofty and famous. He was aware of the dangers. He wept a lot (from Allah’s fear) and avoided enmity and controversy.[^15] Ahmad Ibn Hajar Hiythami has written about Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.): Abu Ja’far Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) was the heir of knowledge, worship, and piety of Ali Ibn Husayn (a.s.). He was called Baqir, because he discovered sciences.

He gained treasures of teachings, commandments, and wisdom, which are only denied by blind-minded and deviant people. He was thus the splitter and distributer of knowledge. His heart was illuminated, his conduct was purified, his soul was clean, and his essence was good. He spent his lifetime in Allah’s obedience. His mystical conduct and tradition cannot be described.

He has many speeches about mystical conduct and teachings, which require a detailed discussion.[^16] Knowledge Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) was one of the greatest jurisprudents and scholars of his own age. The Messenger of Allah (S) had declared his scientific stance before. Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari has narrated from (S) who told him, “O Jabir! You will visit one of my progeny from the generation of Husayn, whose name is my name. He will discover sciences and explain facts.
