Hadith 254
۞
Everything in this book that is narrated from Dawud Al-Raqqi has been transmitted by me from Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from his father, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abdullah ibn Ahmad Al-Razi, from Hariz ibn Salih, from Ismail ibn Mihran, from Zakariyya ibn Adam, from Dawud ibn Kathir Al-Raqqi. It has been narrated from Al-Sadiq - peace be upon him - that he said
"Place Dawud Al-Raqqi in the same position with me as Al-Miqdad was with the Messenger of Allah (swt) - peace and blessings be upon him and his family."
و ما كان فيه عن داود الرّقّي فقد رويته عن الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس- رضي اللّه عنه- عن أبيه، عن محمّد بن أحمد بن عبد اللّه بن أحمد الرّازيّ، عن حريز ابن صالح، عن إسماعيل بن مهران، عن زكريّا بن آدم، عن داود بن كثير الرّقّيّ و روي عن الصادق عليه السّلام أنّه قال
"أنزلوا داود الرّقّيّ منّي بمنزلة المقداد من رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه و آله".
