With the rise of the Buyids in the 4th century, the way was paved for the political and cultural growth of ShiÝism. During their 113-year-old reign along with the establishment of their stretch of rule territory, the Buyid dynasty began to lay the foundations for the development of ShiÝi thought by such great thinkers and scholars as ‘Sheikh Mufid’, ‘Sayyid RaÃi’, ‘Sayyid MurtiÃÁ’, ‘Sheykh Óūsi’ and the like. Regarding the ShiÝi faqihs (jurists) and thinkers and their interactions and co-operations with the rulers of the time there have been two views: some believe that they have had conditioned interactions with the rulers. Others are of the view that they have had no cooperation with them at all. Sayyid MurtiÃÁ can be ranked among the first group. He considered the cooperation permissible in cases where the fight against the ruler was impossible and where the cooperation with them could result in carrying out the divine injunctions and giving services to the ShiÝi people. From this perspective, his participation in the political, social, scientific and cultural activities in the light of cooperating and interacting with the rulers of the Buyids is justifiable. In other words, he did not take the authority of the Muslim jurist in carrying out the divine injunctions as something simple but he believed that it was graded, thereby the authority in question was to be applied in proportion to the existing chances and potentialities.
