Most of the new researches have considered Ahmad ibn e- Mohammad ibn e- Amrov ibn e- Abinasr e- Bazanti -221 After Hijrah- as one of the followers of Imam Reza PBUH while they did not regard his companionship with Imam Javad and his theological position as it is expected. This writing has reviewed on the life of Bazanti and his theological ideas, presented an analysis on his position among the theological trends of that time and reported his theological narrations on account of the content and structure of his statement. Afterward, it has compared the amount and quality of his relationship with these two Imams referring to the historical evidences and lastly, it has proved this claim that some of the narrations of Bazanti are referred to Imam Reza PBUH and actually it has been narrated by Imam Javad.
