“Once Sheikh Ahmad traveled to Najaf. Although Sheikh Muhammad Hassan was good at religious jurisprudence; but he was skillful at debating. Sheikh Hassan forged a tradition, wrote in an old paper, rubbed some dust and smoke on it, took it to Sheikh Ahmad and said:

     “I have it to tradition. I have taken it to you to say whether it is a tradition or not and what you to say whether it is a tradition or not and what it means.” Sheikh Ahmad took it and studies and said to Sheikh Muhammad Hassan: it is Imam speech. Then he paid much attention to it. Then, Sheikh took the paper, went out and tore it…![1]”

     Sheikh Jalaluddin Ashtiyani writes pointing out Sheikh Ahmad’s rank in Isfahan: “Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee is a devout person and Hajji Sabzewari has said about his dignity: His science hasn’t been prominent than the Isfahan scholar’s ones; but he was unique in abstemiousness. However, it is obvious in his behavior that he has been wordly and liked his followers to admire and praise him. Also, the carnal desires intrigued him to be the head. He travelled to various cities and declared his strange opinions. He also entered into philosophical and mystical sciences without being learned by masters and having specialization.[2]

     It is worthy to be mentioned that some scholars had positive views towards Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee and assumed ranks for him such as Kasheful Qita’a. he writes about Sheikh Ahmad:

     “People have different ideas about Sheikh Ahmad. Some believe he doesn’t consider any rank and dignity for the holy Imams and some believe he is atheist. The truth is that he is one of the scholars and gnostic people. He has been devout and worshipper.[3]

     Late Muhammad Baqer Khonsari says about Sheikh Ahmad: “He is one of the supreme sages, gnostic people and eloquent writer.[4]”
