Al-Murtada took advantage of his ancient lineage and closeness to the state to pass on many books and hadiths reported from the Ahl al-Bayt (upon them).  Peace be upon him), and he confronted a number of Islamic sects that tried to attack the Shiites, their imams, and scholars, including the Mu’tazilites. He was also accused of a number of false accusations in order to diminish the scholarly status he had attained and in order to weaken him. Among the most prominent of these accusations was his accusation of retirement despite  His many debates and his response to the Mu'tazila, but they are accusations that those who intended to denigrate the person of Al-Murtada and reduce his status in the hearts of the Shiites, but they tried in vain.
