Assalamualaikum, For my own knowledge, I am researching on the "House of Knowledge" established during the time of 6th Imam Jafar al Sadiq ((عليه السلام)) in the ancient round city of Baghdad (approx. 800 AD). Overview: The Abbasids were staunch enemies of the holy ahlulbait, but the accursed evil Abbassid Caliph Haroon Rashid wanted to establish his authority over muslims by embracing Imam Jafar Sadiq in his arms ( a fake show of public, stating that Haroon loves the ahlulbait and is acting as the caliph just to safeguard religion and assigned the imam as his rightful successor). Haroon did not imprison the imam to avoid public outrage but never wanted to leave the imam out of sight for fear of losing his caliphate, thus the evil caliph had an ingenious idea to appoint important royal responsibilities to the imam and hold him in the palace boundaries with less public interaction so as to hide the true (shia) islam and thus he made the imam the head of many institutions, including the renowed "House of Knowledge" It was in this house of knowledge where biology, chemistry, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, religion and numerous sciences were being taught freely for the first time leading to the Islamic Golden Age, imam had more than 6000 students from all over the world during his era, that is the reason Shias are also famously referred to as "Jafaris", as it was never before and never after the 6th imam when religious and scientific propagation was at this epic level. Now, when I researched more on the internet, many sites listed a few students of Imam Jafar, like Jabir ibn Hayyan (known in the West as Geber), Khwazrimi (father of Algebra, imagine the level of knowledge of imam Jafar Sadiq, when even his student is the father of a science) stating that their master was imam Jafar Sadiq, who had the knowledge of unlimited sciences, it is mind boggling.. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia page for "House of Wisdom" has absolutely no mention of our 6th Imam Jafar Sadiq (عليه السلام)., I'll appreciate if anyone can point me to any sources (reliabile blogs, sites, pdf, ebooks, or book purchase links) related to this topic. Thank you.

Can someone provide me with neutral sources for the immamt of musa khadim

Can anyone help me on, how to pray the prayer of Ja3far al Dayar? Thank you very much!

Before I go into this, I would just like to clarify who Ja'far ibn Muhammad al Sadiq (as) is from a non Shia perspective: He was a master of fiqh and the Islamic and non Islamic sciences, and taught Abu Hanifah and Malik ibn Anas, also teaching the great scientist known as Geber (Jabir ibn Hayyan). No doubt then that he was he most knowledgeable man of the time. But because he taught the two greatest scholars of the Ahlul Sunnah, who are Abu Hanifah and Malik ibn Anas, we often get claims that he was a Sunni. Although it is a foolish claim anyway, (considering most of our fiqh comes through Ja'far al Sadiq (as) and therefore we are also known as the Ja'fari school of thought) , here I will make it clear that Bukhari himself didn't think so. I will also make it clear that Bukhari had an animosity towards our Imam (as) . We have collected thousands of ahadīth from him. Let us see why this isn't the same for the books of Ahlul Sunnah. Let us look at what the al Dhahabi, who is generally considered to be of the highest level hadith scholars along with al Albãni and Sho'aib al Arna'ut and others of that status, says about Ja'far ibn Muhammad (as) . In his book, Mīzãn al i'tidãl , he says in volume 1, page 379, "Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Alī ibn al Hussain al Hashimī, was one of the great scholars of the time. He was of the of the most trustworthy, truthful, and of a great status, but Bukhari did not narrate from him" Also, in the book, al Thiqãt, by ibn Hibbãn, let us see what is said about Ja'far ibn Muhammad (as), volume 2 page 251, "Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al Hussain ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib was of the masters of Ahlul Bayt, in knowledge, in the sciences and had grand merits" Still, Bukhari refused to narrate from him. Interesting, so we have a man that, according to the Ahlul Sunnah, was a great Sunni scholar and teacher but Bukhari refused to narrate from him. I thought he was a great Sunni of high status- he was the teacher of the great Abu Hanifah and Malik ibn Anas- what's the issue? Clearly, Bukhari refused to narrate from this Imam of Ahlul Bayt and no narrations of his are in Sahih al Bukhari. Let us see what Ibn Taymīyyah has to say about this. In Minhaj al Sunnah, volume 4, page 383 "al Bukharī doubted the ahadith of Ja'far ibn Muhammad, deeming them unreliable" I thought Ja'far ibn Muhammad was the great Sunni teacher of Malik and Abu Hanifah, the most knowledgeable of the time? And al Dhahabi said he was of the most truthful, trustworthy, and of a grand status- what is the issue? I thought Bukhari was supposedly fair. Isn't Bukhari someone who loved Ahlul Bayt? No, clearly he is another nasibī in the clockwork. As soon as ahadith supporting the Shia begin to come through from a man of such knowledge, then you completely block the man's narrations from getting into your books. No matter how truthful or knowledgable, if you are the Imam of the Shia, then you are automatically untrustworthy according to al Bukhari. Yet, we get helpless claims telling us that these men had no animosity towards Ahlul Bayt, and even more helpless than that, we get claims that Ja'far ibn Muhammad al Sadiq (as) was from Ahlul sunnah.

Why does he have Sunni beliefs if he was the student of Ja'far al Sadiq(as)

Salam, I heard that Imam Sadiq wrote many books about chemistry and science. (Well it was either him or some of his students) Does anyone have any links to the books or the names of the books?
