Imam

علي بن موسى الرضا

ʿAlī al-Riḍā

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.

536 narrations 32% of them in Al-Kāfi

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.
