علي بن موسى الرضا عليه السلام
ʿAlī al-Riḍā (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.
