Imam Ali (AS) did write Hadeeths which he heard from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). His book is called Al-Jaami'ah الجامعة. or Kitab Ali.
'It remained after him with the Infallible Imams and now it is with Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).
Ahlul Bayt (AS) encouraged their students to write books in Hadeeth and other fields of knowledge. Four hundred main books were complied by the sydents of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) but the enemies destroyed them. We have now Fiur Hadeeth books ( Al-Kaafi, Al-Tahtheen, Al-Istibsaar and Al-Faqeeh) which contain main narrations which are much more than the narrations in Bukhari and Muslim.
Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.

-Al-Khasaa'iss by Al-Nasaa'i, page 19. And many other Sunni books of Hadeeth.
'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).
Wassalam.
I have never seen such narration. Please ask those who claim it to provide its reference so that we can check it and research the authenticity of the narrators.
Other than the holy Quran, we do not have a book that is completely authentic, from cover to cover. Even our early hadith books like al-Kafi, etc, are to be individually evaluated and scrutinised by experts of hadith grading.
The great book Bihar al-Anwar, by al-'Allamah al-Majlisi (q.s.) is no exemption as well. As for percentage or proportion, that cannot be defined as a whole, because each scholar could have different methodology of grading authenticity, and other related issues to hadith grading.
