        Seyed Hassan Mahdikhani Sarvijah
        Sharif Raḍi (d. 406 AH) has mentioned two people: ʿAlaa bin Ziyad Harithi as a wealthy person and ʿAaṣim bin Ziyad Harithi as an ascetic who have been preached by Imam ʿAlī (AS) in one of the sermons of Nahj al-Balāghah. The present study has analyzed the content of the More
        Sharif Raḍi (d. 406 AH) has mentioned two people: ʿAlaa bin Ziyad Harithi as a wealthy person and ʿAaṣim bin Ziyad Harithi as an ascetic who have been preached by Imam ʿAlī (AS) in one of the sermons of Nahj al-Balāghah. The present study has analyzed the content of the sermon and the persons mentioned in it based on the news and reports of historical, rijali, hadith and literary sources. ʿAaṣim Ibn Ziyad Harithi, and ʿAlaa Ibn Ziyad Harithi, are unknown in history, and Sharif Raḍi, and his predecessors and successors, have confused Ala Ibn Ziyad ʿAdavi (d. 94 AH) with ʿAaṣim Ibn Ziyad; Also, Sharif Raḍi and some others have mistakenly named ʿAlaa Ibn Ziyad Harithi, instead of Rabi Ibn Ziyad. In addition, it seems that the original report is related to Hasan al-Baṣri, but it is attributed to Imam ʿAlī (AS) in Nahj al-Balāghah and other sources. Manuscript profile
