Ibrahim bin Isaaq Sheikh at-Tusi mentioned him as one of Imam al-Hadi’s companions and said that he was reliable.[^1] Ibrahim bin Abu Bakr ar-Razi Al-Barqi mentioned him as one of Imam al-Hadi’s companions.[^2] Ibrahim bin Idris Sheikh at-Tusi mentioned him as one of Imam al-Hadi’s companions.[^3] So did al-Barqi.[^4] Ibrahim bin Dawud al-Ya’qubi Sheikh at-Tusi mentioned him as one of Imam al-Hadi’s companions.[^5] Al-Barqi said he was from Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Jawad’s companions.[^6] Al-Kashshi mentioned him as one of the narrators who narrated from Imam Abul Hasan (a.s.).[^7] Ibrahim bin Shayba Sheikh at-Tusi mentioned him as one of Imam al-Hadi’s companions.[^8] Once, he wrote a letter to Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) complaining to him against the deviants from religion who distorted the Islamic intellect.
