2. [2/283] Rijal al-Kashshi: Ibrahim b. al-Mukhtar b. Muhammad b. al-Abbas from Ali b. al-Hasan b. Fadhal from his father from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام (who said about the book of Yunus): This is my religion and the religion of my forefathers and it is the whole truth.

3. [3/284] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh from al-Yaqtini from Yunus who said: The Righteous Servant [al-Kadhim] عليه السلام said: O Yunus - be more lenient towards them for your words are hard-hitting on them. I said: but they call me Zindiq! He said to me: What will it harm you if you have in your hands a pearl but the people say to you ‘it is a stone’, and what will it benefit you if you have in your hand a stone but the people say ‘it is a pearl’.

4. [4/285] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh from Muhammad b. Isa from Abu Hashim Dawud b. al-Qasim al-Ja’fari from Abi Ja’far b. al-Ridha عليهما السلام. He [Dawud] said: I asked him about Yunus so he said: the client of the family of Yaqtin? I said: Yes. He said to me: May Allah have mercy on Him, he was a righteous servant.

5. [5/286] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Muhammad b. Nusayr from Muhammad b. Isa from Abd al-Aziz b. al-Muhtadi who said: I said to Abi al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام: May I be made your ransom - I cannot always reach you to ask you all that which I need from the teachings of my religion, is Yunus b. Abd al-Rahman Thiqa (trustworthy) and can I take from him what I need from the teachings of my religion? He said: Yes.

6. [6/287] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh and Ibrahim the sons of Nusayr from al-Ubaydi from Hisham b. Ibrahim al-Khatli [al-Mashriqi] who said: Abu al-Hasan al-Khurasani عليه السلام said to me: What do you say regarding Istita’a (Human capacity to act) after Yunus? For he (Yunus) has subscribed to the opinion of Zurara while the opinion of Zurara is wrong! ...

7. [7/288] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh and Ibrahim from Muhammad b. Isa from Hisham al-Mashriqi - that he entered in to see Abi al-Hasan al-Khurasani عليه السلام who said: The people of Basra asked about ‘the divine speech’ and said: Yunus says that ‘the divine speech’ is not created. I said to them: Yunus has spoken the truth - ‘the divine speech’ is not created. Has the statement of Abi Ja’far عليه السلام not reached you when he was asked about the Qur’an ‘is it creator or created?’ He said to them: It is not creator nor created, rather it is the speech of the creator. In this way the position of Yunus was strengthened. They also said: Yunus says that it is from the Sunna for a man to pray two units while seated after the final Isha prayer? I said: Yunus has spoken the truth.

8. [8/289] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Muhammad b. Nusayr from Muhammad b. Isa who said: Yunus informed me that Aba al-Hasan عليه السلام had guaranteed protection from the fire for him.
