Requestors of Hadith from Imam Riḍā (AS) in Nīshābūr: Deficiencies and Slippages

There is no doubt about the reception and stop of Imam Riḍā (AS) in Nīshābūr during his transfer to Merw; however, there is inconsistency in the sources regarding those who held the reins of his mount and those who requested the narration of hadith.  The present study, by compiling a library of research papers and presenting them in an analytical-descriptive manner, aims to provide a documented demarcation of the individuals who made the request. Aḥmad ibn Ḥarb Nīshābūrī (d. ۲۳۴ AH), Ibn Rāhwayh (d. ۲۳۸ AH), Muḥammad ibn Aslam Ṭūsī (d. ۲۴۲ AH), Muḥammad ibn Rāfiʻ Qushayrī Nīshābūrī (d. ۲۴۵ AH), Yāsīn ibn Naḍr Nīshābūrī (d. ۲۵۲ AH), Yaḥyā ibn Yaḥyā Nīshābūrī (d. ۲۲۶ AH), and Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Dhuhlī Nīshābūrī (d. ۲۵۸ AH) are those whose names have been reported by reliable sources; however, including Abū Zurʻah Rāzī (d. ۲۶۴ AH), Ibn Khuzaymah Sullamī Nīshābūrī (d. ۳۱۱ AH), Abū Alī Thaqafī Nīshābūrī (d. ۳۲۸ AH), Ᾱdam ibn Abī Ayās ʻAsqalānī (d. ۲۲۰ AH), Naṣr ibn Alī Jahḍamī Rāzī Ḥanafī (d. ۲۵۰ AH), and Muʻallā ibn Manṣūr Rāzī  Ḥanafī  (d. ۲۱۱ AH) among them is shaky, and the evidence does not support it. These individuals were either not yet born, were not of an age to comprehend hadith, or lived in other regions.  Shia scholars must avoid accusations of historical distortion and fabrication by relying on authentic narrations.
