Lots of hadiths have been narrated from him in Shi'a sources. However, he was described as Ghalil al-Hadith (someone who has narrated few hadiths) in Sunni sources. [[Ibn Habban]] and [[Ibn Ma'in]] said that he was a [[Thiqa]] (reliable) narrator. Though, he was dispraised in some Sunni books.

===Du'a' al-Kumayl===

The original name of this [[du'a']] (supplication) –which he has narrated it from Imam Ali (a)- is Du'a' al-Khidr, nevertheless, it is known by the name of its narrator as [[Du'a' al-Kumayl]]. Kumayl was one of the most pious and ascetic people in Kufa.

Some of Imam Ali's testament to him have been quoted in the book ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]''. A summary of these wills have also been narrated in the book [[Tuhaf al-'uqul]].
