خلاصه ماشینی:

Ibn Babawayh al-Saduq, in his valuable book Kamal al-Din and in response to the doubts of the Zaydiyyah, has quoted almost the entire text of the book of Ibn Qubba, the renowned Imami theologian of Rey in the third and fourth centuries AH, who had written in response to the doubts of a Zaydi theologian named Abu Zayd Alawi regarding the issue of Imamate and specifically Imam Mahdi(a). 6 In Rey, Abu Zayd Isa also benefited from the presence of Ahmad ibn Sahl Razi, a well-known Zaydi scholar and author of the valuable book Akhbar Fakkh and Khabar Yahya ibn Abd Allah and his brother Idris ibn Abd Allah, which has recently been published through the efforts of our skilled scholar friend, Jarrar. 352 AH), the great Zaydi scholar of Iran who was the source of some developments in the Zaydiyyah of Tabaristan and was among the teachers of the two Haruni brothers, namely Abu al-Husayn and Abu Talib Haruni (both were Imams of the Zaydiyyah of northern Iran and authors of prominent works in jurisprudence, hadith, principles, and theology, where the Mu'ayyidi jurisprudence attributed to Abu al-Hasan had followers in northern Iran until the Safavid era), was also a student of this Abu Zayd. The name of Abu Zayd al-Alawi's book, as mentioned in Kamal al-Din, is al-Ishhad 12, and the name of Ibn Qubba's book is Naqd Kitab al-Ishhad. Ibn Qubba has included parts of the book al-Ishhad in his refutation, and from these fragments, one can become acquainted with the views and thoughts of Abu Zayd al-Alawi, who was a Zaydi theologian and scholar in the third Hijri century.
