Some well-known figures of his students are: [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]], [[Sallar al-Daylami]]; [[Abu l-Salah al-Halabi]], and others. According to some reports, he had a big house which he had turned into a seminary and in which students of fiqh, [[kalam]], [[exegesis]], Arabic philosophy, poem, and other sciences such as astronomy and calculus were studying. This house did not only host [[Shia]] students but also students from any sect and nationalities such as Abu l-'Ala' al-Ma'arri. | ||

Al-Sayyid al-Murtada was close to [[Buyid]] and [[Abbasid]] kings. In some of his poems, he praised the caliph al-Qa'im and some other Abbasid caliphs.

These positions used to be held by his father and his brother, [[al-Sharif al-Radi]]. | ||

In an essay, "Fi l-'amal ma' | In an essay, "Fi l-'amal ma' al-sultan" (on cooperation with the king), al-Sayyid al-Murtada has replied to a question about cooperation with the government. There is no question about the legitimacy of cooperation with a just ruler, that is, the [[Infallible Imam]]. The main question which concerned Shiite jurisprudents, including al-Sayyid al-Murtada, was whether it is legitimate to cooperate with, and undertake positions offered by, an unjust ruler in the period of [[occultation]]. According to al-Sayyid al-Murtada, it is legitimate to cooperate with an unjust ruler if it has rational and legitimate advantages, that is, in case one can establish justice via such a cooperation or execute divine rulings. | ||
Some Shiite authors have accounted for al-Sayyid al-Murtada's own cooperation with Abbasid and Buyid governments in accordance with this jurisprudential approach. Thus, they consider his closeness to, and praise of, caliphs to be intended as a service to the Shiite community. | Some Shiite authors have accounted for al-Sayyid al-Murtada's own cooperation with Abbasid and Buyid governments in accordance with this jurisprudential approach.

He focused his attention on fiqh, Islamic theology, and Arabic literature and served Twelver Shia and strengthened their principles and secondary issues through them. | ||

For him, it is obligatory to rationally inquire about God and related issues, because God's existence is not a truism, and one cannot appeal to transmitted knowledge (such as [[hadiths]] and religious texts) in order to prove God, since the reliability of such texts comes from belief in God. According to al-Sayyid al-Murtada, it is not acceptable to believe in God only on the basis of following some authorities without having an argument or evidence. | ||
Al-Sayyid al-Murtada emphasized the reliability of reason with regard to beliefs and theological issues. Everything contrary to the reason is, for him, invalid. Thus, when hadiths are in contradiction with the reason, he believed that it is the reason that should be preferred. He held that not all hadiths are to be trusted. For instance, he did not accept hadiths implying [[tashbih]] (assimilation of God to creatures), [[jabr]] (predestination), seeing God, and eternity of His attributes, as well as hadiths confirming some superstitions such as the thunderstorm being an angel. He interpreted away the Quranic verses which initially seem contrary to the reason. | Al-Sayyid al-Murtada emphasized the reliability of reason with regard to beliefs and theological issues.

'''Al-Sayyid al-Murtada and the Mu'tazila:''' al-Sayyid al-Murtada's views were, because of his rationalism, close to those of the [[Mu'tazila]]. This is why some [[Sunni]] scholars have considered him as a Mu'tazili thinker. Mu'tazili views were popular in Baghdad where al-Sayyid al-Murtada lived, and so he was influenced by such a context. However, as a Shiite thinker, he opposed some Mu'tazili principles. In his book, ''al-Shafi'', he criticized the views of the prominent Mu'tazili scholar, [[Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar]]. With regard to issues such as [[Imamate]], the [[Infallibility]] of the [[prophets]], [[al-Manzila bayn al-Manzilatayn]] (a position between the two positions), and divine will, he rejected Mu'tazili views. | '''Al-Sayyid al-Murtada and the Mu'tazila:''' al-Sayyid al-Murtada's views were, because of his rationalism, close to those of the [[Mu'tazila]].

For al-Sayyid al-Murtada, | For al-Sayyid al-Murtada, hadiths and religious texts are credible in theological issues. In addition to beliefs which should only be based on reason, there are theological beliefs that can be established both through the transmitted tradition and through the reason, such as imamate. Moreover, there are some theological beliefs that can only be based on the transmitted tradition. For instance, in the view of al-Sayyid al-Murtada the eternity of [[rewards and punishments]] in the [[Afterlife]] cannot be settled by the reason, and so it can only be settled by the transmitted tradition. | ||

Al-Sayyid al-Murtada had a rationalistic approach to the jurisprudence as well. He believed in the reliability of the reason in discovering divine rulings in the absence of transmitted evidence. He was also a pioneer in the [[ijtihad]] method in Shiite jurisprudence. He employed verbal and rational principles in deducing sharia laws. He would not agree with the methods of [[muhaddith]] and later [[Akhbaris]] scholars. He did not require appeals to transmitted evidence with regard to some jurisprudential issues which he considered to be discoverable by rational principles.

He did not require appeals to transmitted evidence with regard to some jurisprudential issues which he considered to be discoverable by rational principles. However, he permitted the use of transmitted evidence with respect to the [[furu' al-din|ancillaries of the religion]] and believed that some rulings and even some beliefs can only be proved by transmitted evidence. For instance, he believed that [[al-amr bi-l-ma'ruf wa l-nahy 'an al-munkar]] (enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong) is obliged by the sharia rather than the reason. | ||
'''Unreliability of | '''Unreliability of khabar al-wahid:''' like his teacher [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], al-Sayyid al-Murtada did not believe in the reliability of [[khabar al-wahid]]. He held that appealing to khabar al-wahid is impermissible not only in the case of beliefs, but also with regard to jurisprudential rulings. According to him, in order for khabar al-wahid to be reliable its transmitter needs to be just, and in order for him or her to count as just they need to be [[Twelver Shi'a]], rather than members of deviated Shiite sects. However, there are many cases of khabar al-wahid which are transmitted by such people (such as [[Waqifi]] or [[Ghali]] transmitters). Thus, the condition for the reliability of khabar al-wahid cannot be met. Some researchers believe that the denial of the reliability of Khabar al-Wahid led al-Sayyid al-Murtada to excessively rely on [[consensus]] (al-ijma') to deduce jurisprudential rulings. | ||
The book, ''al-Intisar'', is a jurisprudential work by al-Sayyid al-Murtada which contains rulings specifically held by the Shi'as. This is one of the first jurisprudential works concerning the disputed jurisprudential problems between the Shi'as and Sunni Muslims. Another important jurisprudential work by al-Sayyid al-Murtada is his ''al-Nasiriyyat''. He wrote the book as an exposition of the jurisprudential views of his grandfather, [[Hasan al-Utrush]]. Other jurisprudential views of al-Sayyid al-Murtada appear in essays he wrote in response to questions and letters. | The book, ''al-Intisar'', is a jurisprudential work by al-Sayyid al-Murtada which contains rulings specifically held by the Shi'as.

Al-Sayyid al-Murtada also wrote some work concerning [[usul al-fiqh]], the most important of which is ''al-Dhari'a ila usul al-shari'a''. It is the first comprehensive work by a Shiite scholar concerning usul al-fiqh. In this book, al-Sayyid al-Murtada cited the views of Sunni scholars and then developed his own views.

In addition to short essays regarding the exegesis of some Quranic verses, much of his exegeses are collected in his, ''[[Al-Amali (al-Sharif al-Murtada)|al-Amali]]''. In this work, he provided exegeses of about 140 Quranic verses. Also in his ''Tanzih al-anbiya''', al-Sayyid al-Murtada provided exegeses of some Quranic verses regarding [[prophets]]. In other works by him, including his theological works, such as ''al-Shafi'', some Quranic verses are exposed and explained. | ||
Al-Sayyid al-Murtada employs a rationalistic method in his exegeses of the Qur'an as well.

==Death== | |||
About the demise of al-Sayyid al-Murtada, [[al-Najashi]] said, "al-Sayyid al-Murtada passed away in [[436]]/1044-45 and his son prayed upon his body in his house. He was buried in his house and I undertook performing his ritual bath and my companions were [[Abu Ya'la al-Ja'fari]] and [[Sallar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz]]." | |||
There are different opinions regarding his burial place; some have said that he was later taken to [[Karbala]] from [[Baghdad]] and was buried near the grave of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] and his grave is now well-known to people. Also, Ibn Maytham's report supports this idea that the graves of [[al-Sayyid al-Radi]] and al-Sayyid al-Murtada are in Karbala. In his commentary on ''[[Nahj al-balagha]]'', he wrote, "al-Sayyid al-Radi and his brother, al-Sayyid al-Murtada were buried near their forefather, Imam al-Husayn (a)." | |||
However, some believe that al-Sayyid al-Murtada and al-Sayyid al-Radi are buried in [[Kadhimiya]]. Now, near the grave of [[Imam Musa al-Kazim (a)]], there are two mausoleums, people say the graves of al-Sayyid al-Radi and al-Sayyid al-Murtada are there. Some people visit there and recite [[Sura al-Fatiha]] to be blessed. | |||
