Salam.

I want to know please.

What Balazuri wrote about sahaba?

And what is his status like historian?

And did he reported Hadith from messenger saws?

is he reliable or not?

Barak'Allah ou fikoum
Abou Hourayra narrated that the messenger saws said:

"“There will come to the people years
of treachery (...) the Ruwaibidhah will decide matters.”
It was said

 'Who are the Ruwaibidhah?'

The Prophet replied:

 “Vile and
ignorant men who will speak in the affairs of the people.”

Wa alaykum alsalam wa rahmatullah,

Al-Balathuri wrote a couple of books on history. One is called Ansab Al-Ashraf (a book about lineages and biographies) and the other is Futooh Al-Buldan (a book about conquests). He did include narrations from the Prophet - peace be upon him - in his books. He is not seen as a credible compiler, for nobody from the scholars have strengthened him nor weakened him, which makes his status: Unknown (majhool).

Edit: Also, Ibn Hajar included him in Lisan Al-Mizan, which suggests that he is weak.

He's a scholar of the Sultans as they say. Nobody cared to take knowledge from him or have him as teacher it seems.
