Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Musa Bin Ja'far Al-kazim Chapter Xiv A Group of his and of the Narrators of his Traditions The school of Imam al-Sadiq, peace be on him, continuously worked and spared no effort to educate human reason, to develop mental renaissance, and to help the Muslims make progress in the fields of civilization and science. It brought up a righteous generation ready for doing good and great efforts.

It conveyed its reformative message to the following generations. So thanks to Imam al-Sadiqs school, the Islamic reason ripened, Islamic sciences, teachings, and rules came into the practical existence in the east and west of the world. When the Islamic world suffered the loss of demise of Imam al-Sadiq, peace be on him, Imam Musa, peace be on him, managed the affairs of that great school, which exalted science and hoisted its flag.

Since the first day after his fathers death, he became the den and leader of the science board and mental renaissance in his time. The religious scholars came to him, and the thinkers surrounded him.

They did not leave him nor did they separate themselves from him, to the extent that they hurried to record all his words and his religious decisions on various events.[1] These scholars reported from him all kinds of science such as wisdom, exegesis of the Holy Quran, and all chapters of the science of Islamic jurisprudence; they also narrated from him social rules, excellent commandments, and his urging his followers to be versed in all kinds of science.

That group of religious scholars and of narrators, whose number was over four thousand people, was not on the same level of trust and justice; among it was a few number of the hypocrites and liars who did not refrain from telling lies and fabricating traditions; they fabricated traditions and ascribed them to the trusted Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, and to his blessed family, that they might take some money from the ruling authorities, which launched war against Islam, spoiled the beliefs of the Muslims, divided them into groups and parties; Every sect rejoicing in what they had with them.

Yet there was another group from among the unknown who were not authenticated; there was another group from among the weak; also there was among them a large number of trustworthy and just narrators who refrained from fabrication and were known for truthfulness and honesty.
