Analysis of Ibn Ghazairi’s Perspective on Abu Basir Muradi

Abu Basir Layth b. Bakhtari was among the transmitters of Imam Baqir and Sadiq’s hadiths. The majority of preliminary raja’alites remained silent on the validity of Abu Basir Muradi. Among them, Ibn Ghazairi’s perspective stands out. Although he reports on Imam Sadiq’s taking offence on Abu Basir Muradi and admits to Abu Basir’s sarcastic tone addressing religion, yet he has not denied his validity. In the present descriptive-analytical research, the aim was to analyze Ibn Ghazairi’s comments on Abu Basir Muradi and the effects on Ibn Ghaziri’s perception of Abu Basir and found him blamed in holy narrations. The reason why Imam Sadiq was offended by Abu BAsir is the occurrence of inappropriate behaviors and speech and defective understanding of imamology. Moreover, by sarcastic tone addressing religion, as quoted by Ibn Ghazairi, it means sarcasm in methods and behavior.
