الجَارُودِيَّةٌ
A sect of the Zeydeeyeh, so called in relation to Abu-lJárood Ziyád the son of Aboo-Ziyád: Abu-l-Járood being he who was named by the Imám El-Bákir “Surhoob,” explained by him as a devil inhabiting the sea: they held that Mo- hammad appointed 'Alee and his descendants to the office of Imám, describing them, though not naming them; and that the Companions were guilty of infidelity in not following the example of 'Alee, after the Prophet: also that the appointment to the office of Imám, after El-Hasan and El-Hoseyn, was to be determined by a council of their descendants; and that he among them who proved himself learned and courageous [above others] was Imám.
