Bismillah
As-salamu ´alaykum,

As a reply to what brother Jadeed wrote:

1. The opinions of al-Imam Zayd (radiya'Allahu ´anhu) were documented and preserved. If one doubts the authenticity of the Majmu´, one may turn towards al-Amali of Ahmad bin ´Isa bin Zayd, compiled by Imam Muhammad bin Mansur al-Muradi. While the Usul might not have been fully explained by al-Imam Zayd himself in writing, it was laid down by the scholars following him, as with the Maliki- and Hanafi schools. Furthermore,

2. The books of the later Zaydiyya are filled with "Sunni Hadeeth". The earlier authorities had their own asaneed, mostly through the descendants of the Household, radiya'Allahu ´anhum. As most of the Ahadith are to be found within the major books of Ahlus-Sunnah, later Zaydi scholars started to quote them from the Sunni books, as the majority (Sunnis) were more familiar with these sources. It is more practical when displaying what narrations the Zaydi Ijtihadat are based on.

3. Yes, the Zaydiyya's aqa'id become close to the Mu´tazila, however this is not to discredit them in their works of Usul al-Fiqh and its' Furu´, for otherwise the major works in Usul of Ahlus-Sunnah will have to be discredited (in addition to some works in Furu´), as they were written by Mu´tazila, or under heavy Mu´tazili influence. Likewise, the Aqidah of many of the Hanabilah is also problematic to most Ash´ari- and Maturidi scholars.

As for Imam Ja´far bin Muhammad (radiya'Allahu ´anhu), it may prove more problematic. However, that is not to say that none of his opinions have been properly preserved. For they have, both in Al-Amali of Imam Ahmad bin ´Isa bin Zayd (rahimahu'Allah), and the Musannafs of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and ´Abdur-Razzaq, radiya'Allahu ´anhuma.

Wa Allahu a´lam.
