The Imam was the true source of divine knowledge in the society. He was referred by many to answer questions regarding various aspects of the Islamic sciences. The names of 185 individuals that narrated Hadith from the Imam is recorded in history. The Imam had also trained multiple notable scholars. These scholars had a special role in recording and preserving the Imam’s narrations. They were not only scholars of Islamic knowledge, but were also unique in piety and character.
Ali ibn Mahziar was one of the Imam’s notable companions, who also served as his representative in Ahvaz, Iran. He was a great scholar of Islamic law. He authored 33 books on various topics in Islamic law and belief. Fazl ibn Shazan was another great companion of Imam Hadi. He was a master in various Islamic literature, such as the Islamic law and Ilm al-Kalam. Ilm al-Kalam is the study of Islamic doctrine that involves defending Islamic principles against skeptics. He had authored dozens of books on various topics, such as defending the Shia belief and falsifying the claims of various sects and theologies. Abd al-Azim al-Hasani was another notable companion of Imam Hadi who was from the descendants of Imam Hasan (AS). He met Imam Hadi and presented his Islamic beliefs to the Imam. He asked the Imam to confirm or correct his beliefs. The Imam then listened to him and approved his beliefs. He was an Islamic scholar, and Imam Hadi referred his Shia followers who were living close to Abd al-Azim al-Hasani to ask their questions directly from him.
The Imam, like his forefathers, confronted the false theological beliefs of his time and guided his followers to the true Islamic teachings. Once, the Imam and his companions were in the Mosque of the Prophet when a group of Sufis (or Islamic mystics) entered the Mosque. The Imam referred to them as the allies of the devils and the destroyers of Islam. The Imam, in his speech to his companions, falsified the Sufis’ beliefs and warned his companions of any interactions with them.
The Imam also strongly confronted the Ghulat, who would exaggerate the status of Imam Hadi and the other Shia Imams. The Ghulat would regard the Imams at the level of God. They were active in Shia centers in Iraq and Iran, and would often falsely introduce themselves as the Imam’s representatives. The Imam openly rejected and cursed the Ghulat’s leaders for giving wrong attributes to the Ahlul-Bayt and himself. In the letters to his representatives and followers, the Imam frequently cursed the Ghulat and warned them against being influenced by the Ghulat’s false beliefs. After insisting on their false belief and continuing to misguide the Shias from their true beliefs, the Imam, on rare occasions, allowed his companions to physically confront the Ghulat’s leaders.
Many supplications have been narrated from Imam Hadi and remain today. As a result, Imam Hadi has been also titled as ‘the second Imam Sajjad’. Imam Hadi has provided supplications about the s
