Some prominent, reliable narrators such as al- Hasan b. MahbGb, ‘Ali b. Ri’ab, and the like reported traditions on the authority of Musâdif. This is evidence for his honesty and his knowledge of traditions and the Imamate. Al- Sadiq, peace be on him, sent Mus&lif to Egypt to sell goods estimated at a thousand dinars. When he came BACK, he stated that the interest of the goods was a thousand dinars. Al- Sadiq regarded the interest as too many.

So, Musadif told him that there was nothing of the goods they sent to Egypt. Accordingly they swore to sell the goods at a dinar for a dinar. Al- SAdiq, peace be on him, disowned that oath and that interest, and regarded them as Islamically prohibited. Then al- Sâdiq took the original sum of money and left the interest. And he said to Musâdif:” Musâdif, a duel of swords is easier than seeking the lawful.” We have mention this tradition in His kindness.

He and Murazim accompanied al- Sadiq, peace be on him, when al-Mansflr summoned him to come to HTra. When al- MansUr allowed him to return to Medina, he went out at night. While he was covering the road to Medina, a man called ‘Ashir hindered his way and prevented him from going there. Musadif and Murazim tried to kill ‘Ashir. However, the Imam prevented them from doing that. The Imam did his best to convince ‘Ashir to let them go.

At that ‘Ashir became satisfied with the Imam’s words and permitted him to go while most night passed. For this reason, al- Sadiq said:” Murazim, is this better or what you said?” We have mentioned this tradition in His clemency and in Murâzim. Sa’id al- Rumi: Among them was Sa’Td al- RCmi. The Shakh (i.e. al- Ttisi), may his grave be fragrant, regarded him as one of the companions of aS&iiq, peace be on him. Ibn Muskan, Aban, and Hammad reported traditions on the authority of Sa’Td al- Rumi.

They, as we have mentioned in their biographies, were among those reliable narrators. The Sect (i.e. the Shra) has a greed on the correctness of the traditions reported on their authorities and acknowledged their ability in jurisprudence. This is clear evidence for his honesty in the report, -the reliance of these great figures on him, his knowledge of the tradition the rule, and his learning from the Imam. Sabah: Among them was Sabâh.

He was regarded as one of the companions of al- Sadiq, peace be on him. This indicates that he reported traditions on the authority of the Imam, that he had a chance to learn from him, and that he knew him.
