خلاصة:
Ahmad ibn Fahd al-Hilli is one of the great Shia scholars whom some authors have introduced as a Sufi or inclined towards Sufism, due to the attribution of certain disciples and works to him. The main issue of this research is to examine his teachers, students, and writings to prove the correctness or incorrectness of such a claim. This attribution is further strengthened when we consider that one of the founders of the Shia Mushasha'i state, namely Mohammad ibn Fallah, was his student and, in order to legitimize his rule, caused the promotion of such a hypothesis. Despite the scarcity of information regarding this matter in the sources, the author's method is a library-based method by reviewing the latest research in the field.

Ali Gholami Dehghi*/Amir Hassan Mozaffari Zadeh** Abstract Ahmad ibn Fahd al-Hilli is one of the great Shia scholars whom some writers have introduced as a Sufi or inclined towards Sufism, due to the attribution of certain disciples and works to him.
It seems that such attributions stem from two points: first, the existence of disciples such as Sayyid Muhammad ibn Fallah and Sayyid Muhammad Nurbakhsh (among the great Sufi saints) among the disciples of Ibn Fahd; and second, some of his books, which will be examined in the following writing through these two factors.
9 Allameh Muhammad Taqi Majlisi also believes that scholars such as Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili, Sayyid Radi al-Din Ali ibn Tawus, Ibn Fahd al-Hilli, and Shahid Thani, after traversing the stages of religious sciences, turned to "the path of asceticism, worship, and servitude according to the law of the sacred Prophetic Sharia," and no innovation (bid'ah) has been reported from them.
74 Because of these matters, the late Sayyid Muhsin Amin was surprised by those who introduced Ibn Fahd and those like him as being inclined toward Sufism; he considered the Sufism attributed to people like Ibn Fahd, Ibn Tawus, Khwaja Nasir al-Din, Shahid al-Thani, Shaykh Baha'i, and others to be انقطّاع الی اللّه (detachment to Allah), asceticism in the world, and annihilation in divine love, unlike what is attributed to some Sufis, such as the doctrine of hulul (incarnation), wahdat al-wujud (unity of existence) 84, or engaging in actions that contradict Sharia.
