99. Al-Hasan bin Salih.
He was the son of Hay al-Hamadani al-Thawri al-Kufi. He is the owner of the essay. He was Zaydi. The Salihiya is ascribed to him. Shaykh al-Tusi numbered him as one of the companions of Imam al-Baqir, peace be on him. Al-Kashi mentioned him when he mentioned the Bashiri sect, namely after the biography of Abu al-Dabbar. It was reported on the authority of Imam al-Sadiq, peace be on him, who said: "If the Bashiriya were a row between the east and west, Allah would not strengthen His religion with them." Al-Kashi said: "The Bashiriya were the companions of Kathir al-Nawa, al-Hasan b. Salih b. Hay, Salim b. Abi Hafsa, al-Hakam b. 'Ayniya, Salama b. Kuhayl, and Abu al-Muqdam Thabit al-Haddad. It was they who summoned the people to support the succession of 'Ali, peace be on him. Then they mixed 'Ali's succession with the succession of Abu Bakr and of 'Umar. They supplied proof of their succession. They detested 'Uthman, Talha, al-Zubayr, and 'A'isha. They believed in supporting the sons of 'Ali, peace be on him. They regarded that as enjoining good and forbidding evil. They supplied proof of the Imamate of the sons of 'Ali, peace be on him, when they revolted against the rulers.2
