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

7 narrations 57% 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.

لرجل من القميين: اتقوا الله وعليكم بالصمت والصبر والحلم، فإنه لا يكون الرجل عابدا حتى يكون حليما.

hadith 696
From my father (ra) through Saʿd ibn ʿAbdullāh, from Muʿāwiyah ibn Ḥukaim, from Muʿammar ibn Khallād, from Abū al-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (AS), from his father, who said that Abū ʿAbdullāh (AS) stated: "The salvation of a believer lies in safeguarding his tongue." And Amīr al-Muʾminīn (AS) said
"Whoever safeguards his tongue, Allah will conceal his faults."
أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُعَاوِیَهَ بْنِ حُکَیْمٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع نَجَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنِ فِی حِفْظِ لِسَانِهِ. وَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع مَنْ حَفِظَ لِسَانَهُ سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ.

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.
