In books of classical Shia scholars some reports in praise of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) came without chains of transmission. What is our obligation? Should we accept reports which have no chains of transmissions? Or we should reject them as unestablished?

It is not permissible to reject them and consider them as false narrations, as long as there is a possibility of them actually being truthful and originating from the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them). At the same time, it is not correct to assert them as being truthful if we are uncertain of their truthfulness. They are narrations that might correspond to reality.
