His lineage reached [[Jabir b. 'Abd Allah Ansari]], one of the [[sahaba|companions]] of [[the Prophet (s)]]. His father, whose name was Ramadan, was a shepherd and wished that his son continues his educations so he sent him to [[Tehran]] to learn [[religious studies]].

'''Tehran'''

Many [[act of wonder|acts of wonder]] have been reported from him and that he was always watchful about his actions and his soul so much that he is reported to have become silent sometimes in the middle of class fearful of slightest ignorance and saying anything regardless of God's contentment.

[[Aqa Buzurg Tihrani]] who entered [[Iraq]] two years after demise of Mulla Husayn Quli, described him following methodology of [[Sayyid b. Tawus]]. In his opinions, most scholars after Mulla Husayn Quli were indebted to him and his pupils were stars of the sky of knowledge and virtue. He regretted for he did not see him, but he is happy his students could attend Mulla Husayn Quli's classes. He believed that Mulla Husayn Quli's students had combined knowledge with practice. About Mulla Husayn Quli, [[Sayyid Muhsin al-Amin]] has written that Mulla Husayn Quli was peerless in [[ethics]] and purification of the soul among his contemporary scholars.

Since most of Mulla Husayn Quli's efforts were for educating pupils, he could not find time to write; thus, most of his works are written by his students, some of which are:

* Class scripts of [[al-Shaykh al-Ansari]]'s [[fiqh]] and [[usul]] classes written by Mulla Husayn Quli himself.
