The entry adds that he also wrote a lesser-known commentary on Ibn al-Hajib's Shafiya. The qadi Nur Allah Shushtari reads a reference in the introductory prayer as meaning Najaf, but the term haram in the Arabic edition could refer to Mecca, where Suyuti obtained his information on the date of death. The entry concludes that there is no doubt that Radi al-Din was a Shi'i. {cite:encyclopaedia-of-islam-2 vol. 1 p. 770}"
