The late Ayatollah Sayed Muhammad Mahdi Al-Khersan (r.a.) was one of the prominent ulama of Najaf Seminary, who had a special focus and dedication to research and authoring. To answer historical, jurisprudential, and hadith doubts, he bequeathed beneficial and lasting research as his legacy. Proofreading and authoring important works on translation, genealogy, theology, hadith, and jurisprudence were only a part of the extensive services of this modest and humble seminarian professor to publish and promote the teachings of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) school.

Some of the works of Ayatollah Al-Khersan, all of which are in Arabic are: “موسوعة عبدالله ابن عباس”, “کشاف بلدان منتقلة الطالبیة”, “السجود علی التربة الحسینیة”, “علی إمام البررة”, “المحسن السبط مولود أم سقط”, “نهایة التحقیق فی ما جری فی أمر فدک للصدیقة و الصدّیق”, and “الظاهرة القرآنیة فی نهج‌البلاغة”. The book “موسوعةُ عبداللهِ بنِ عباس، حَبْرُ الاُمّة و تَرجُمانُ القرآن” (Encyclopedia of Abdullah ibn Abbas; the Great Scholar of Ummah and the Translation of the Quran) is an encyclopedia about Ibn Abbas, the paternal cousin and companion of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), is one of the important works of the deceased, which won the Book of the Year Award of the Islamic Republic of Iran In the Field of Religion in 2016.

To commemorate Ayatollah Al-Khersan, the offices of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Imam Hussain (a.s.) Shrines, along with about thirty other scientific and cultural institutions, including the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, held an international congress. This congress was held on October 17 and 18, 2022, in Najaf, and on November 23 and 24, 2023, in Qom.
