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.

2 narrations 50% of them in Mishkāt al-Anwār

Counted from the narrations and chains this database holds — not a record of everything he transmitted.

Every narration whose chain this database resolves to him — the figure his seal draws. Resolved name by name, so a namesake of his is not among them.

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Work for God without any hypocrisy and seeking fame, since God will leave whoever works for other than God to his work.”
عن أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) قال
اعملوا لله في غير رياء ولا سمعة، فإنه من عمل لغير الله وكله الله إلى عمله.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Nawfali from al-Hussain b. al-Mukhtar who raised it to Ameer al-Mumineen (a.s.) who said
“One who makes something to boast about it will be raised on Qiyamat black-faced.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع قَالَ
مَنْ صَنَعَ شَیْئاً لِلْمُفَاخَرَهِ حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ أَسْوَدَ الْوَجْهِ.

This page is not assembled from entries, because the rijāl books write none for the Imams. It gathers the narrations and chains that name him.
