== Shia disciples == Momen contends that of the few thousand students who are said to have studied under al-Sadiq, only a few could have been Shia, considering that al-Sadiq did not openly advance his claims to the imamate.{{sfn|Momen|1985|p=38}} Notable Shia students of al-Sadiq included: * [[Hisham ibn al-Hakam]] was a famous disciple of al-Sadiq, who proposed a number of doctrines that later became orthodox in the Twelver theology, including the rational necessity of the divinely-guided imam in every age to teach and lead God's community.{{sfn|Gleave|2012}} * [[Aban ibn Taghlib]] was an outstanding jurist and traditionist and an associate of al-Sadiq in [[Kufa]], but also of Zayn al-Abidin and al-Baqir. The latter is reported to have praised Aban, "Sit in the mosque of Kufa and give legal judgment to the people. Indeed I would like to see among my Shia people like you".{{sfn|Lalani|2004|pp=108, 109}} * [[Burayd ibn Mu'awiya al-'Ijli]] in Kufa was a famous disciple of al-Baqir and later al-Sadiq, who later became a key authority in the Shia jurisprudence ([[Fiqh|{{Transliteration|ar|fiqh}}]]). Al-Baqir praised him (along with [[Abu Basir Moradi]], Muhammad bin Muslim, and Zurarah) as worthy of the paradise.{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=110}} * [[Abu Basir al-Asadi]] was considered one of the poles of the intellectual leadership of the Imami community of Kufa. His name is included in the number of [[Consensus companions|six companions]] of al-Baqir and al-Sadiq that hadiths narrated by any one of them is considered authentic by many Shi'a scholars. Some consider [[Abu Basir al-Moradi]] as one of those six people instead of Abu Basir al-Asadi.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rizvi |first1=Saeed Akhtar |title=The Qur'ân and Hadíth |date=1988 |publisher=Bilal Muslim Mission of Tanzania |isbn=9976-956-87-8 |page=90 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mDqtAgAAQBAJ |access-date=26 September 2022 |archive-date=9 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309204952/https://books.google.com/books?id=mDqtAgAAQBAJ |url-status=live}}</ref>{{sfn|Pakatchi|2020}} * [[Abu Basir Moradi]], a famous Shia jurist ([[Faqīh|{{Transliteration|ar|faqih}}]]) and traditionist, was another associate of al-Baqir and al-Sadiq. Al-Sadiq is believed to have told Moradi, Zurarah, Burayd, and Muhammad ibn Muslim that the prophetic hadiths would have been lost without them.{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=110}} * Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Nu'man known as [[Mu'min al-Taq]] was a distinguished theologist in Kufa and a devoted follower of al-Baqir and al-Sadiq, whose debates about imamate are famous. ''Kitab al-Imamah'' and ''Kitab al_Radd alla al-Muazila fi Imamat al-Mafdul'' are among his works.{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=111}} * [[Zurarah ibn A'yan]] in Kufa was a disciple of al-Hakam ibn Utayba before joining al-Baqir. As a prominent traditionist and theologian, Zurarah played an important role in developing the Shia thought. Zurarah lived long enough to also become a close disciple of Ja'far al-Sadiq.{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=109}} * Fudayl ibn Yasar is another notable associate of both al-Baqir and al-Sadiq, about whom al-Sadiq said what Muhammad had said about [[Salman the Persian]], that "Fudayl is from us, the [[Ahl al-Bayt]]."{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=110}} * Maymun ibn al-Aswad al-Qaddah was a devout supporter of al-Baqir and his son, al-Sadiq. Not educated but with an impressive personality, Maymun probably committed to writing what he heard from the Imams. His son, Abd Allah, is the alleged ancestor of the Isma'ili imams.{{sfn|Lalani|2004|p=112}}
