Abstract
According to the unanimous hadith of SAQALAIN, Muslims pay special attention to ETRAT In the meantime, Sistani who are famous for possessing some human qualities such as belief in God, chivalry and partiality to ETRAT(a.s.) have had significant interest and connections with Imam Reza(a.s.). Investigation and analysis of the reports related to that Imam(a.s.) show that at least three people from Sistani or Sistani descent - Abu Khaled Sejestani, Muhammad bin Faraj Rokhaji and Mokhawwal Sejestani - were among the companions of Imam Reza(a.s.). Interest in Imam Reza(a.s.) in later periods has also been manifested in the behavior and speech of some Sistani elites such as Ibn Abi Dawud Sejestani, Ibn Hebban Bosti and Sana’i Ghaznavi. Ibn Abi Dawud and Ibn Hebban Bosti, who thought and acted in the religious context of Sunnah, had a narrative relationship with Imam Reza(a.s.). In the meantime, if Ibn Hebban has made any notable statements about that Imam(a.s.); In other places, he has compensated for his insolence by mentioning his frequent experience of visiting Imam Reza(a.s.) and his narrative need after visiting. The famous mystic and poet, Sana’i Ghaznavi, has also mentioned the religious position of ETRAT, especially Imam Reza(a.s.), in a long ode while using verses and HADITHS.
