علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام
ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (ʿa)
The rijāl books do not assess the Imams. They file narrators by which Imam they transmitted from, so this page gathers the chains rather than a verdict.
In this collection
Counted from the narrations and chains this database holds — not a record of everything he transmitted.
