Abul Hasan Ali ibn Asbat ibn Salem Kufi Baya al-Zati Kandi was one of the Shia narrators and companions of Ali al-Rida and Muhammad al-Jawad. He narrated Hadiths from Ali al-Rida, Jamil ibn Darraj, Husayn ibn Zararah, and Muhammad ibn Sinan. People like Musa ibn Ja'far Baghdadi and Muhammad ibn Hussein ibn Abi al-Khattab narrated from him.[1] Ali ibn Asbat was from Kufa, from the Kinda tribe.[2]

Life and family

Ali ibn Asbat was a Muhaddith, Moqri and Shia commentator and worked in the clothing business.[3] His father, Asbat ibn Salem was from the Kinda (tribe) and one of the narrators of Ja'far al-Sadiq and Musa al-Kazim. His brother Hussein ibn Asbat was a narrator of Ali al-Ridha and his uncle Yaqub ibn Salem al-Ahmar was considered a reliable and trustworthy narrator. According to the scholars of Rijal, he was one of the companions and narrators of Muhammad al-Jawad. He learned jurisprudence and hadith from Ali al-Ridha. And through the intermediary of al-Sadiq, he has narrated the hadiths of Muhammad. He has narrated about 387 hadiths. His hadiths from Ali al-Ridha are related to various jurisprudential issues, such as certainty, humility, sins, buying and selling, Istikhara prayer, interpretation of some verses, and affordability.[2]

Ali ibn Asbat was a agent of Muhammad al-Jawad in Egypt.[4] An account by the Twelver traditionist Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni (d. 941) describes how Ali ibn Asbat visited Muhammad al-Jawad on behalf of the Egyptian Imamites.[5]

Ibn Asbat narrated hadith from people such as Asbat ibn Salem (his father), Yaqub ibn Salem (his uncle), Abdullah ibn Bakir, Abdullah ibn Sinan, Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, Ali ibn Abi Hamza al-Bata'ini, and many others. Hussein ibn Asbat (his brother), Hasan ibn Musa al-Khashshab, Musa ibn Qasim Bijli, Abd al-Azim al-Hasani and others have narrated narrations from him.[6]

Belief

Ibn Asbat belonged to the Fathi religion and there are two opinions about his change of religion and belief: Some have said that Ali ibn Mahziar wrote a treatise rejecting ibn Asbat religion and called him to the truth, but it was not effective, and he died with the same opinion.[1] Some others say that letters were exchanged between ali ibn Asbat and Ali ibn Mahziar about Ali ibn-Asbat religion until he went to the service of Muhammad al-Javad, and there he changed his Fathite belief. It is stated in more sources that this case is stronger.[7]

Work

His works include: Tafsir al-Qur'an, Al-Dalael, Al-Nawader, Al-Mazar, the comprehensive collection of hadiths and originals. The hadith book was narrated by Zabian ibn Hakim and the original book was narrated by Ibn Abi Umayr. Al-Nawader book is the narration of al-Sheikh Harun ibn Musa on the authority of Abi al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Saeed al-Hamdani.[1]

Death

There is no information about the exact time of Ali ibn Asbat's death, but he was alive until the middle of the third century.[6] He probably died after 230 AD.[1]
