Hasan b. Salih b. Hayy is known as one of the heads and founders of Batriyya , a branch of Zaydiyya Shiites. However, referring to his traditions and quotations indicate that he had certain doctrinal principles not sticking completely to the religious foundations of Zaydis. On the other hand, Hasan b. Salih was in communication with Imam Sadiq and his jurisprudential questions from the Imam led to the prevalence of his traditions in the later Shiite Hadith collections. In spite of his accompanying Zayds sons in the latter part of his life, the claim of his being the founder of Batriyya is questionable.
To investigate this issue, historical evidence and quotations of experts in biography of transmitters are taken into consideration, hence studying and criticizing his Islamic school and traditions in the Shiite works. The outcomes of this research indicate that he was a follower of the Shiite school and criticisms directed to him are due to the improper performance of Zaydis centuries after the death of Zad b. Salih
