Imam

موسى بن جعفر الكاظم

Mūsā al-Kāẓim

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 183 AH

508 narrations 40% of them in Al-Kāfi

In the same isnād

Each stands next to his name in an isnād — one took straight from the other — and no book calls them teacher or pupil. Each row says where that comes from: a book's chain index, or the chains this database holds.

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.
