He served elders like Imam Muhammad al-Jawad. According to the author of the major book Omdat ol-Mataleb, Ali ibn Jafar also served Imam Ali al-Hadi; that is, he understood the life of the five Shia Imams and continuously supported his honorable brother, Imam Musa al-Kazim. Ali ibn Jafar obtained permission from his brother, Imam Musa al-Kazim, to narrate the religious courses and Prophet Muhammad' s sayings to those interested. [5] [6]

Seyyed Nematollah Jazayeri was a prominent Shia Akhbari scholar born in 1640 and died in 1700, in one of the islands around Basra. He was one of the grandchildren of Musa al-Kadhim.

Sulṭān ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Bāqir ibn ʿAlī Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn ibn Al-Ḥusayn was the son of the fifth imam of Twelver Shi'i Muslims and fourth imam of Isma'ili Shi'i Muslims, Muhammad al-Baqir. Born in Medina, Ali, known in Iran as "Sultan Ali," was dispatched by his father to the areas of Kashan and Qom, where he served as a Friday prayer leader and teacher; his popularity and his preaching of Shi'i Islam proved threatening to the local representative of the Umayyad dynasty. The Umayyad representative's forces cornered and killed Sultan Ali and a band of his supporters, after a prolonged battle, and before a larger group of supporters could arrive, in Ardihal, a village roughly 45 kilometers east of Kashan on August 7, 734 CE. He is still revered by Shi'i Muslims, especially in Iran, where his burial place—which has undergone repeated renovations but dates, in part, to the Saljuq period—has become a site of visitation. The shrine is known for a distinctive annual carpet-washing ritual (qālī-shūyān) that occurs on the seventeenth day of autumn to commemorate the day of Sultan Ali's martyrdom, a ritual that might have its origins in Sultan Ali's body having been wrapped in a carpet and brought to the site of his burial after his murder.

Hadith al-Silsilah al-Dhahab is a hadith narrated from Ali al-Ridha, the eighth Imam of the Shia.

As transmitters of Hadith, the Imams link subsequent generations to the teachings of Mohammad. This transmission makes the Hadith of the Golden Chain valued as among the most truthful and accurate of all Hadiths for the Shi'ite.
