Rijal al Burqi
Rijāl al-Barqī (Arabic: رِجال البَرْقی) was an early Shiite source of rijal (assessment of the reliability of transmitters of hadiths). The book is also known as Ṭabiqāt al-rijāl (Arabic: طَبِقات الرِجال) or al-Ṭabiqāt (Arabic: الطَبِقات). transmitters of hadiths are mentioned in this book in the order of their generations (tabiqat). According to the widely accepted view, the book was written by Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid al-Barqi, a companion of Imam al-Jawad (a) and Imam al-Hadi (a). Given extant evidence, some scholars have supported the probability of the attribution of the book to Ahmad b. Muhammad's grandson. It is believed by some others that the book was written collectively by al-Barqi Family.
