The knowledge of Jurisprudence and the recognition of Divine commandments is regarded as the most useful and valuable branch of learning. After the position of Risalat (Prophetic mission or message), and Imamat (the Divine successorship of Prophet Muhammad (S) by the twelve sinless Imams, the knowledge of religious Jurisprudence holds the highest human spiritual rank and position in the Ja'fri-Islamic School. Sayyid Radi succeeded in utilizing these provisions of rich Islamic culture by distinguishing himself as a learned scholar and eminent Jurisprudent.

The God-Almighty had so willed that he and his brother Sayyid Murtada- revivers of Shi’i political Jurisprudence and flag bearers of knowledge and Jurisprudence - should utilize the golden opportunity, that is, the presence of the most eminent exalted Jurisprudent of that time -Shaykh al­ Mufid (ra) and should be taught and trained by him, ultimately acquiring the highest position of Jurisprudence for themselves.

Although his fame in the vast fields of poetry and literature has overshadowed his other educational dimensions, and historians and biographers have written extensively about Sayyid Radi’s poetry citing him as the most eminent poet and literary figure of his period, but any how his personality is too great to be confined only into the domain of poetry and literature. In spite of the fact that he was the most unique eloquent orator, at the same time he was a profound authority for the knowledge of Hadith (narration), of tafsir (Commentary of the Holy Qur'an) and an eminent Faqih (Jurisprudent) of his period.

Regarding the eminence of these two brothers the researchers have stated that if Sayyid Radi did not exist, Sayyid Murtada would have become the most eminent poet of that period, and if Sayyid Murtada was not there, it would have been impossible to find another Jurisprudent to match with Sayyid Radi. Sayyid Radi has written a book in the field of Jurisprudence named Taliq Ali Khalaful-Faqhah.1 Also his debates regarding Jurisprudence with his contemporary scholars and jurisprudents which have been recorded in his biography proves his mastery in this field. Apart from these he also occupied the highest judicial position for a long period which required an in-depth knowledge and mastery of Jurisprudence.
