Imam Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir or al-Sadiq - context dependent) makes a stark observation about a narrator:
Later usulis (principlists), such as Muhammad Baqir al-Wahid al-Bihbahani (d. 1791), argued that Report 176 does not impugn Yunus directly. Instead, it only explains why Hasan ibn Faddal personally avoided Yunus. In other words, it is a report about Hasan’s personal ijtihad (legal reasoning), not an objective fact about Yunus’s standing.
