جعفر بن محمد الصادق عليه السلام

Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq (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.

Died 148 AH

In this collection

9,745 narrations 56% of them in Al-Kāfi

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.
