Are the scholars of the Household of the Prophet, such as Imam Al-Baqir, Imam An-Nasir, and Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq, considered to be from the Sunnis or from the Shia?
Both Imam al-Baqir and Imam al-Sadiq are Imams of guidance, and they hold a revered status among Ahl al- wa al-Jama'ah. Ibn Taymiyyah described al-Baqir and al-Sadiq as imams of knowledge and religion who deserve their esteemed position. Ibn Kathir described al-Baqir as a great Tabi'i, knowledgeable and pious, from the lineage of prophethood, and he was named al-Baqir (the Splitter) because he split open knowledge. As for al-Sadiq, Ibn Hibban described him as one of the masters of the Ahl al-Bayt and scholars of Medina. Al-Dhahabi mentioned that he was of great standing, and Ibn al-Jawzi described him as a knowledgeable, ascetic, and devout scholar. If the Imam al-Nasir intended is al- ibn Ali al-Utrush, then he is from the Ahl al-Bayt, and historians like al-Tabari and Ibn al-Athir praised him for his justice and good conduct. He was instrumental in the conversion of the Daylam to Islam.
