Zakaria ibn Idris Ash'ari Qomi or Zakaria ibn Idris ibn Abd-Allah al-Ash'ari al-Qomi (Persian: زکریا بن ادریس اشعری قمی, Arabic: زکریا بن إدریس بن عبدالله الأشعري القمي), known as Abu Jarir (Persian: ابو جریر), was a Shia[1] Muhaddith (scholar of hadith)[broken anchor] and one of the companions of Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad aṣ-Ṣādiq (the sixth Shiite leader), Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhim (the seventh Shiite leader), and Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (the eighth Shiite leader).[2] A group of Shiite elders[3] have considered him one of the influential people in the growth of Islam.[4] Shaykh Tusi, while counting about 3300 narrators and companions of Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad aṣ-Ṣādiq, has mentioned Zakaria al-Ash'ari.[5]

Scholar of hadith
Shaykh Tusi in his book "Rejal Tusi" has considered "Zakaria ibn Idris Ash'ari Qomi" as one of the companions of Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad aṣ-Ṣādiq,[6] Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhim[7] and Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha[8] (Shia Imams). "Zakaria ibn Idris Ash'ari Qomi" has narrated several hadiths from these Shia Imams. Also, a correspondence has been narrated from him with Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhim about an Islamic jurisprudential issue.[9]
After the martyrdom of Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhim and the emergence of the Waqifite sect, "Zakaria ibn Idris" went to Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha to investigate the matter of Imamate to ensure he is the head of the madhhab (school of thought).[10]
