Yazïd narrated, saying: "I came in to Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him, and I had doubt about his Ima`mate. My companion on the road was a man called Muqa`til b. Muqa`til, and he went on (following) his Ima`m (i.e. the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) in Ku`fa, so I said to him: 'Why have you hastened?' 'I have concerning that (i.e. concerning the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) a proof and knowledge,' he replied."
Al-Husayn (b. 'Amr b. Yazïd) said: "I asked Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him: 'Have your father passed away?' 'Yes,' he replied, 'by Allah, I am in the position where Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family, and the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him, were. Who is happier than me in the subsistence of my father?' Then he said: 'Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: And the foremost are the foremost, these are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah). Those who know the Ima`mate when the Ima`m appears.' Then he said: 'What has your brother done?' 'Who is it?' I asked. 'Muqa`til b. Muqa`til,' he answered, 'the one with flat face, long beard, bent nose.'
"He, peace be on him, added: 'As for me, I have not seen him yet; nor has he come in to me, but he has believed (in my Ima`mate) and is truthful.' Then he asked me to take care of him. Then I left the Ima`m, and suddenly there was Muqa`til before me, so I said to him: 'I have good news for you. I will not tell you of it unless you praise Allah one hundred times.' Then I told him about what the Ima`m, peace be on him, said."
Ima`m al-Khu`'i commented on this account, saying: "The account is clear that the man (i.e. Muqa`til b. Muqa`til) believed in the Ima`mate of al-Rida`, peace be on him. On the assumption that he was a Wa`qifite, he retreated from the creed of the Wa`qifites. "

365. Yunus Bin 'Abd al-Rahman
He was the retainer of 'Ali b. Yaqtïn and was among the leading Shï'ites and one of their eminent men. He saw Imam al-Sadiq, peace be on him, between al-Safa and al-Marwa, but he narrated nothing on his authority. He narrated on the authority of Imam al-Kazim and Imam al-Rida, peace be on them. He was the agent of Imam al-Rida and among his close companions.
'Abd al-'Azïz b. al-Muhtadi said to Imam al-Rida`, peace be on him: "I am unable to meet you every time, so from whom shall I take the principle features of my religion?" "Take them from Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman," replied the Ima`m, peace be on him.
The narrators said: "Imam al-Rida guaranteed Yunus the Garden three times. " He, peace be on him, said concerning him: "Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman is like Sulayman (Solomon) in his time. " Yunus (b. 'Abd al-Rahma`n) narrated, saying: "Abu al-Hasan Musa died and all those who believed in his Imamate had a lot of money, and this is why they said that he was the Imam who would return, and that they denied his death. (For example), Ziyad al-Qandi had seventy thousand dinars; 'Ali b. Abu Hamza had thirty thousand dinars." He (Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman) said:
"I saw that and the truth manifested itself to me. I was fully aware of the affairs of Abu` al-Hasan, peace be on him, so I spoke to the people and summoned them (to follow) him." He said: "They (i.e. Ziya`d al-Qandi and 'Ali b. Abu` Hamza) sent for me and said to me: 'Do not summon (the people to follow) this (i.e. Abu` al-Hasan). If you want money, we will enrich you.' They guaranteed (me) ten thousand dinars." Yu`nus said: "So I said to them: 'We have been told on the authority of the Truthful (Ima`ms), peace be on them, that they said: 'If innovations appear, then it is incumbent on scholar to show his knowledge. If he does not do this, the light of faith will be taken from him.' I will never leave struggle (jihad) and Allah's command. Accordingly, they opposed me and showed enmity toward me. "
Many traditions have been reported from the Ima`ms of guidance concerning praising and lauding, and that he was one of those who had abundant reverential fear and among the scholars of the family of Mohammed, may Allah bless him and his family. Besides these accounts, there are others in which he has been dispraised. These accounts are either fabricated or they have been mentioned in order to decrease his importance during that time when the Shï'ites suffered from bitter kinds of tragedies and ordeals.
Yu`nus compiled a large group of books most of which is on jurisprudence and some of which is on interpretation of the Holy Qur'a`n. He, may Allah have mercy on him, died in Medina and was buried beside the grave of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family. Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him, praised him, saying: "Look at what Allah has completed for Yu`nus: His grave is in Medina by (the grave of) Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family."
366. Yunus Bin Ya'qub al-Bujayli, al-Dihni
He is trustworthy. In his book al-Risala al-'Adadiya, al-Shaykh al-Mufï~d regarded him as one of the prominent jurists and leading persons from whom people took the lawful, the unlawful, religious opinions and precepts, whom none is able to impugn, and to whom there is no way to dispraise. He narrated on the authority of Ima`m al-Ka`zim and Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on them.
Yu`nus died in Medina, so Abu` al-Hasan al-Rida`, peace be on him, sent him scent for embalming, a shroud, and all the necessary things. Then he ordered his followers, those of his father, and of his grandfather to attend his funeral, and he said to them: "This (Yu`nus) was a follower of Abu` 'Abd Allah, peace be on him, and he lived in Iraq." And he said to them: "Be present at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï~'. If the Medinans said to you that he was an Iraqi and that they would not bury him at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï~', then say to them: 'This is a follower of Abu` 'Abd Allah, peace be on him, and he lived in Iraq.
If you prevent us from burying him at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï', then we will prevent you from burying your followers at it.' He was buried at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï'.1 Imam al-Rida, peace be on him, ordered his grave to be showered with water for a month or forty days.May Allah have mercy on Yu`nus, for he was successful through his showing friendship and love toward the members of the House ahl al-Bayt, peace be on them.
With him we will end our speech about some companions of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him. It is worth mentioning that the Ima`m's companions were a group of the eminent men of his time, and that they were a group of authors, narrators, and jurists, so they enriched the Ima`mi jurisprudence through their recording the verdicts of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him.

Yet al-Kashi mentioned a narration indicating that he was righteous and was not a Wa`qifite. Al-Husayn b. 'Amr b. Yazïd narrated, saying: "I came in to Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him, and I had doubt about his Ima`mate. My companion on the road was a man called Muqa`til b. Muqa`til, and he went on (following) his Ima`m (i.e. the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) in Ku`fa, so I said to him: 'Why have you hastened?' 'I have concerning that (i.e. concerning the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) a proof and knowledge,' he replied."
Al-Husayn (b. 'Amr b. Yazïd) said: "I asked Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him: 'Have your father passed away?' 'Yes,' he replied, 'by Allah, I am in the position where Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family, and the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him, were. Who is happier than me in the subsistence of my father?' Then he said: 'Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: And the foremost are the foremost, these are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah). Those who know the Ima`mate when the Ima`m appears.' Then he said: 'What has your brother done?' 'Who is it?' I asked. 'Muqa`til b. Muqa`til,' he answered, 'the one with flat face, long beard, bent nose.'
"He, peace be on him, added: 'As for me, I have not seen him yet; nor has he come in to me, but he has believed (in my Ima`mate) and is truthful.' Then he asked me to take care of him. Then I left the Ima`m, and suddenly there was Muqa`til before me, so I said to him: 'I have good news for you. I will not tell you of it unless you praise Allah one hundred times.' Then I told him about what the Ima`m, peace be on him, said."
Ima`m al-Khu`'i commented on this account, saying: "The account is clear that the man (i.e. Muqa`til b. Muqa`til) believed in the Ima`mate of al-Rida`, peace be on him. On the assumption that he was a Wa`qifite, he retreated from the creed of the Wa`qifites. "

There was a short time between (saying) these words and his coming on Friday when it was hot. That was in Maru`. I asked him: 'Where have you come from?' 'From this,' he answered.

365. Yunus Bin 'Abd al-Rahman
He was the retainer of 'Ali b. Yaqtïn and was among the leading Shï'ites and one of their eminent men. He saw Imam al-Sadiq, peace be on him, between al-Safa and al-Marwa, but he narrated nothing on his authority. He narrated on the authority of Imam al-Kazim and Imam al-Rida, peace be on them. He was the agent of Imam al-Rida and among his close companions.
'Abd al-'Azïz b. al-Muhtadi said to Imam al-Rida`, peace be on him: "I am unable to meet you every time, so from whom shall I take the principle features of my religion?" "Take them from Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman," replied the Ima`m, peace be on him.
The narrators said: "Imam al-Rida guaranteed Yunus the Garden three times. " He, peace be on him, said concerning him: "Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman is like Sulayman (Solomon) in his time. " Yunus (b. 'Abd al-Rahma`n) narrated, saying: "Abu al-Hasan Musa died and all those who believed in his Imamate had a lot of money, and this is why they said that he was the Imam who would return, and that they denied his death. (For example), Ziyad al-Qandi had seventy thousand dinars; 'Ali b. Abu Hamza had thirty thousand dinars." He (Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman) said:
"I saw that and the truth manifested itself to me. I was fully aware of the affairs of Abu` al-Hasan, peace be on him, so I spoke to the people and summoned them (to follow) him." He said: "They (i.e. Ziya`d al-Qandi and 'Ali b. Abu` Hamza) sent for me and said to me: 'Do not summon (the people to follow) this (i.e. Abu` al-Hasan). If you want money, we will enrich you.' They guaranteed (me) ten thousand dinars." Yu`nus said: "So I said to them: 'We have been told on the authority of the Truthful (Ima`ms), peace be on them, that they said: 'If innovations appear, then it is incumbent on scholar to show his knowledge. If he does not do this, the light of faith will be taken from him.' I will never leave struggle (jihad) and Allah's command. Accordingly, they opposed me and showed enmity toward me. "
Many traditions have been reported from the Ima`ms of guidance concerning praising and lauding, and that he was one of those who had abundant reverential fear and among the scholars of the family of Mohammed, may Allah bless him and his family. Besides these accounts, there are others in which he has been dispraised. These accounts are either fabricated or they have been mentioned in order to decrease his importance during that time when the Shï'ites suffered from bitter kinds of tragedies and ordeals.
Yu`nus compiled a large group of books most of which is on jurisprudence and some of which is on interpretation of the Holy Qur'a`n. He, may Allah have mercy on him, died in Medina and was buried beside the grave of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family. Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him, praised him, saying: "Look at what Allah has completed for Yu`nus: His grave is in Medina by (the grave of) Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family."
366. Yunus Bin Ya'qub al-Bujayli, al-Dihni
He is trustworthy. In his book al-Risala al-'Adadiya, al-Shaykh al-Mufï~d regarded him as one of the prominent jurists and leading persons from whom people took the lawful, the unlawful, religious opinions and precepts, whom none is able to impugn, and to whom there is no way to dispraise. He narrated on the authority of Ima`m al-Ka`zim and Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on them.
Yu`nus died in Medina, so Abu` al-Hasan al-Rida`, peace be on him, sent him scent for embalming, a shroud, and all the necessary things. Then he ordered his followers, those of his father, and of his grandfather to attend his funeral, and he said to them: "This (Yu`nus) was a follower of Abu` 'Abd Allah, peace be on him, and he lived in Iraq." And he said to them: "Be present at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï~'. If the Medinans said to you that he was an Iraqi and that they would not bury him at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï~', then say to them: 'This is a follower of Abu` 'Abd Allah, peace be on him, and he lived in Iraq.
If you prevent us from burying him at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï', then we will prevent you from burying your followers at it.' He was buried at the (cemetery of) al-Baqï'.1 Imam al-Rida, peace be on him, ordered his grave to be showered with water for a month or forty days.May Allah have mercy on Yu`nus, for he was successful through his showing friendship and love toward the members of the House ahl al-Bayt, peace be on them.
With him we will end our speech about some companions of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him. It is worth mentioning that the Ima`m's companions were a group of the eminent men of his time, and that they were a group of authors, narrators, and jurists, so they enriched the Ima`mi jurisprudence through their recording the verdicts of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him.
