He was a student of Mohaddise Noori in Najaf. He was a pious man and devoted his life to studying, giving lectures and writing about Ahl-al-Bayt (as). He was a reflection of strict abstinence whose knowledge was accompanied with piety, all of which make him a humble role model.

Through his lectures on Ahl-al-Bayt, he talked about their lives, gave advice and introduced their traditions to people. In these lectures he also gave admonitions on learning from Ashura catastrophe, and the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as), where he shed tears so mournfully that the tears reached his beard.
