Abstract:
ali ibn muhammad ibn anbasah (d. approx. 330-365 ah) authored a book compiling narrations from the household of abu talib (as), which served as one of the sources for ‘uyūn akhbār al-riḍā by ibn babuwayh qumi (d. 381 ah). ibn anbasah claims to have transmitted unique texts from imam riḍā (as) through his ancestors, many of which have not been narrated through other sources. however, challenges arise in the chains of transmission and the texts of his narrations, casting doubt on the attribution of these narrations to imam riḍā (as) and even to ibn anbasah's direct teachers. ibn anbasah was criticized by ibn al-ghaẓāiri and najāshi, but the precise reasoning behind their critiques has not yet been fully explored. this study examines the chains of transmission and the content of ibn anbasah's narrations, aiming to clarify their issues and identify the responsible party if these problems are acknowledged. based on textual and transmission evidence, it appears that ibn anbasah himself is likely responsible for most of these issues. many of his chains of transmission, as well as the names of some of his teachers and narrators, seem to have been fabricated by him.

However, no narration from Yahya was found in any source, and no biography Ali bin Muhammad ibn Anbasah and narrations attributed to Imam al-Rida (AS) was not obtained; therefore, it is possible that his name is mentioned here only for the purpose of using an unknown family chain, making its verification impossible for others.
Ibn Hibban Ali bin Muhammad ibn Anbasah and narrations attributed to Imam al-Rida (as) said: He used to fabricate hadith and attribute them to Anas.
