The ‘Tradition of Faith (īmān)’ is one of the famous narrations from ʿAlī ibn Mūsā al-Riḍā (‘a) which he articulated upon entry into the city of Neyshābūr, quoting from his illustrious forefathers up to his great-grandfather the Prophet of Allāh (ṣ). It is also known as the Golden Chain (silsilah al-dhahab) Tradition, since all the narrators in its chain, right up to Imām al-Riḍā (‘a), are from the [infallible] progeny of the Holy Prophet (ṣ). The secondary narrators who transmitted this tradition from Imām al-Riḍā (‘a) did so with numerous chains of transmission that have been recorded in Sunni sources and altogether come up to 57 chains. If we ignore Abū Ṣalt, the narrators in at least seven chains make up sound chains of transmission. Unfortunately, despite the numerous chains and the soundness of some of them, as well as the fact that it has been recorded as one of the established historical events, this narration was still overlooked by some of the great traditionists. The only reason for this is that some Sunni biographers considered Abū Ṣalt to be a weak narrator. Of course, this kind of judgment against Abū Ṣalt is not based on any logical or rational principles, which part of this paper proves. Furthermore, at least one chain of this narration found in Shi‘i sources is considered sound, which itself increases the strength and authority of this tradition. The other chains, in both Shi‘i and Sunni sources, which are considered weak, can still be considered as corroborating evidence.
