Abu Khalid Al-Kabuli: Study in His Life and Narrations In Al-Hadith Sources of Imami Shiites

Abstract

Shiism, especially in the era of Imam Al-Baqir and Al-Sadiq, was on its way to foundation and clarity as a doctrine and belief. The Shiites have been distinguished by the character of independence in their opinions from the majority of Muslims, and they have formed an ideological thought that had its own character and distinguished from others. The life of Abu Khalid Al-Kabuli constituted an important stage in the history of the Imami Shi’a, as his  biographer lived, as reported by the sources on men's' biography, an important period of the Imamate era, represented by his accompanying the lives of three Imams: Imam Ali bin Al-Hussein, Imam Al-Baqir and Imam Al-Sadiq. Although  there are many disputes between Hadith historians and men about his perception of the era of Imam al-Baqir and al-Sadiq, and similar complications in his life, especially the narrators, when searching for them in the early sources.
