The Shi'a scholars have compiled in the different fields of Islam such as: explanation, Hadith, jurisprudence including: purity, blood money, rites (of pilgrimage), daily prayers, principles of religion, theology, principles of  jurisprudence, knowledge of Hadith, explanation of narrations, explanation of the forty Hadith, the actions of a day, a week, and a year, and the actions of the month of Remadhan in particular, and shrines, invitations, protests, sermons, wisdoms, arts, history, invasions, deaths, lineages, poetry, geography, countries, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, algebra, logic, genealogy, (scholastic) theology, physics, science, sociology, archaeology, ethnology, biology, ethics, economics, embryology, genealogy, rhetoric, theology, arithmetic, semantics, metrics, philosophy, theology, grammar, and so on. And the biographical names show all the details of these compilations. And number of books were compiled in the names of compilers such as the bibliography of Shaykh Abi Ja'far Muhammad bin Al Hassan Al Tussi, The Men of Al Najashi, and the bibliography of Muntajab Addin bin Babawah, Ma'lem Al Ulama' for Ibn Sheher Aashub, and in the bibliography of Ibn Al Nadim there is a large part of the compilers, and Shaykh Aagha Buzurg Al Tehrani has compiled a book and named it ( Al Thari'a Ela Mua'lfat Al Shi'a ).

And the Shi'a scholars have compiled books in every time and in every science such as: 

Explanation, Hadith, sciences, the verses of Ahkam, principles , jurisprudence, and the men of Hadith and so on, and those complications have spread all over the world.

The same thing is applied on the (scholastic) theology, because of their need to face the opponents, every time and everywhere, among them were the readers Aasim and Al Kisa'i and many others. Their compiles are not limited to jurisprudence, Hadith and explanation but it exceeded them to the other Islamic sciences. They were the first one who started to compile about these subjects. Abu Al Aswad for example was the one who invented the grammar by helping of Ameer Al Mu'mineen (p.b.u.h), and when the grammar spread, the greatest scholars of grammar were Shi'a, such as: Al Khalil bin Ahmed, Al Kisa'i, Al Mazini, Abu Ali Al Farisi and many others.

Recently, there were lots of compilations about grammar, and the best one was (Sharh Al Shaykh Al Radhi Ala Kafiyat Ibn Al Hajib), that book has collected the philosophy of grammar, and nobody could compile a similar book before nor after it. This book has been studied by scholars and students of Arab, Persian and Turkish. And Sayyed Al Sharif Al Jerjani has commented on it.

Morphology was invented by Mu'ath bin Muslim Al Harra' Al Kufi, who spread it from the grammar.

Metrics also was invented by Al Khalil bin Ahmed, who compiled the book of (Al Ayn ) in which he gathered the whole Arabian language. And Al Sahib bin Abbad has compiled ( Al Muheet Fil Lugha ) which is used widely in the language's books. 

The first one who made the Maqamat was Badi'ul Zaman, who was Shi'at, and he was imitated by Hariri. There were only four compilers in the world: Abdul Hamid, Ibn Al Amid, Al Sahib, Al Sabi, and the two middle ones were shi'a.

The genius poets were from Shi'a such as : Abi Nu'as, Abi Tammam, Al Buhturi, Al Mutanabi, Al Sharif Al Radhi, Ibn Hani' Al Andulusi, and so on. Another generation that came after them, such as: Muhammad bin Wahib Al Himayri, Al sirri, Al Refa', Al Khalidiyayan, Abi Firas and Al Hamdani, Al Nashi' and so on, so it was said: "Have you ever seen a non Shi'at writer"

Al Mes'udi has excelled in the history,so he compiled ( Akhbar Al Zeman) , ( Al Awsat), (Murooj AL Dhahab) which contained more than any other book despite of its little size.

Ibn Al Nedim has excelled in interpretations and the chains of transmissions; he collected in his biography more than anybody else has done. Qutbul Dine Shirazi who is buried in Damascus and he was graduated from its schools. He explained (Sharh Al Shamsiya) in logic, and he was trusted in teaching logic all over the world until it was exchanged by the logic of Shaykh Al Mudhaffar. He also compiled ( Sharh Al Mutala' Fil Mantik ) which was unequaled.

The Shi'a scholars have compiled many great books which are unequaled such as ( Al Shafi) for Al Murtadha, and so on. They also compiled in the field of physics and divines in a unique way, such as ( Al Tajreed) for the researcher Nasir Al Din Al Tusi, it is an important reference for those who are interested in this subject , it was explained by the Qushanji from the Sunni and the scholar Al Hilli from the Shi'a, and it is the reference for the scholars of both groups. Nasir Aldin Al Tusi also worked on stars observation, and his work is still for now.

Al Ra'ees Ibn Sina, and he is Shi'at Isma'eeli,  he compiled  ( Al Qanoon Fil Tib) it was taught in Europe until a close time. Al Shaykh Al Beha'i also has compiled ( Al Khulasah Fil Hisab) which published in Iran and in Egypt repeatedly, it was also translated into German and printed in Berlin.

There are three people who were called "The Teacher", one of them was from GREECE and the other two ones were from Shi'a. The first teacher: Arsto and he was GREEK, the second teacher: Al Ra'ees Ibn Sina the Shi'at, and the third teacher: Abu Nasr Al Farabi, he was also Shi'at.

And those who excelled in the Logic and Wisdom, the researcher Al Diwani, and in the second century, Ali bin Isma'eel bin Shu'ayb bin Maythem Al Tamar Al Asadi Al Kufi Al Basri , has excelled in the (scholastic) theology. He was one of the greatest scholastic of Shi'a. He talked to Aba Al Hassan Al Allaf and Al Naddam who were the head of Mu'tazilah. He also had held sessions with Hisham bin Abdul Malik , dead in (179 A.H.). And one of the greatest scholastic of Shi'a was Isma'eel bin Ali Al Nubakhti who had held sessions with Al Jiba'i who died in ( 303 A.H).

In general we can say that the Shi'a the Ja'fari had gone along the others in the different fields of Islamic arts, and they were the first in those fields.
