An appearance of integration of Islamic sects in trusting of Sunni narrators to Shi’a narrator Ebbad ibn Yaqub
The title is a research paper by Rahim Khakpoor, published in Journal of “Motale’at e Taghribi Mazaheb e Eslami”, Volume 11, Issue 43, Spring 2016, Pages 60-71. The following is an excerpt from its abstract.[1]
Mutual trust of Islamic sects
The mutual trust of Islamic sects’ followers and trying to creating unity and establishing a unique Ummah is an important principle that was a model for wise scholars in the golden century of Islam. Thus forgetting this important principle in the wake of unpleasant historic events in many centuries separated sects and humiliated Islamic Ummah.
Manifest of mutual trust
One of the clear fields that could see mutual respect and scientific–cultural exchange among sects is quoting Hadiths from other sects’ narrators. Shi’a and Sunni quoted a large part of their Hadiths from each other’s narrators. Ebbad ibn Yaqub Ravajeni is from those narrators who though expressed his Tashayo’ and propagating it, was reliable and acceptable for Sunni’s Grandees. His various Hadiths in Sunni books and their great trust in him is to an extent that cast Sheikh Tousi, famous Shi’a narrator, into doubt about Tashayo’ of Ebbd ibn Yaqub.
Objective and Methodology
This article in the descriptive-analytic method tries to prove these important issues 1. Oneness of Ebbad ibn Yaqub Ravajeni with Ebbad Abu Saeed A’sfari. 2. Tashayo’ of Ebbad and expressing to it and invited to that. 3. The trust of famous Sunni narrators in Ebbad despite knowing he is a Shi’a.
