Sayyid Radi considered all Abbasids caliphs as usurpers and was disgusted with them, and specially hated Caliph Alqadir-hillah Abbasi. Like most of the caliphs and kings he was a selfish, ambitious, obsessive, and prejudiced person always looking for excuses to destroy the social status and spiritual eminence of Sayyid Radi's charming personality. On the other hand Sayyid Radi released his disgust and hatred through poetic verses, which like the powerful blast of canon fire covered every place catching the attention of everybody.

In one of his verses he says:

“Is not it ironic that while Egypt is being ruled by an Alavite Caliph - I have to put on a dress of insult in the land of enemies?'

When this fireball hit the caliph's ears, he was outraged. The caliph immediately invited Sayyid Radi's father, his brother Sayyid Murtada, Shaykh al-Mufid, and other learned Shi’i scholars for a meeting and discussions. Also, Sayyid Radi was summoned to explain the reasons of his disgust and frustrations with his Abbasid Caliphate. What are the reasons that he feels dejected in living in the Center of Caliphate (i.e. Baghdad), and instead desires to be living in Egypt - the land of Alavites.

But Sayyid Radi with his characteristic greatness and bravery rejected caliph's invitation and did not attend the meeting. In spite of his father's opinion that by composing those verses he has outraged the caliph and better apologize or deny the allegation, he did not yield to pressure and continued his resistance.

He was fully aware of the dire consequences resulting from disobedience of caliph's orders, but still his free spirit and boldness acted as a barrier in his acceptance of caliph's invitation. His action angered the caliph and consequently he was removed from all important social portfolios.1

In the said meeting the caliph also ordered the preparation of minutes of the meeting for his political advantage against Sayyid Radi, which was sent for his signature, but he boldly refused to sign.
