Jabir ibn Yazid al-Ju'fi

Jābir ibn Yazīd al-Juʿfī, died c. 745–750, was a Kufan transmitter of hadith and a companion of the Shi'a Imams Muhammad al-Baqir (677–732) and Ja'far al-Sadiq. His reputation among later Muslims was uneven: while some Sunni and Shia scholars considered him a reliable authority, others rejected him for his alleged 'extremist' or 'exaggerated' ideas. In some sources he is said to have followed the ideas of the 'exaggerator' al-Mughira ibn Sa'id, while other sources deny this.

Name
His is mentioned in the sources as Abu Abdullah, Abu Muhammad and Abu Yazid, but it seems that Abu Muhammad is most commonly used. Apart from al-Ju'fi, in some sources his is also mentioned as al-Kufi. ==Relationships with Shi'a Imams==
Relationships with Shi'a Imams
The year of his arrival in Medina will be around 96. According to the report that was quoted from Jabir, in his first meeting with the fifth Shi'a Imam Muhammad Baqir, he introduced himself as a Kufi and from the Ju'fi family, and his motivation was to learn from al-Baqir. ==References==
