The present paper aims to analyze Mulla Hadi's philosophical tendencies on the system of effusion. According to Haji, effusion is considered as emanation of something from God so that nothing is deducted from Him and nothing is added to Him in the ascent. He divides creation into two types of real and agentive. He introduces real creation as an expanded existence. In peripatetic terms, like peripatetic philosophers, he makes a connection between the theory of intellects and the Ptolemaic system. He believes that each intellect from the first up to the ninth has created a constellation but the tenth intellect does not have a constellation. It is the sustainer of earthly beings. Like peripatetic philosophers, he refers to the worlds of Lahout, Jabrut,Malakut and Nasut. In explaining illumination, he refers to archetypes and light. In his Sadra'i explanation, Mullah Hadi uses an anecdote (hadith) from Imam Ali (a. s.) on the nature of reason, and like Mulla Sadra, he seeks to collect the views on the first emanation of intellect or the expanded existence. In explaining Mashaei-Ishraqi (peripatetic-illuminative) and Ishraqi-Sadra'i, (illuminative–transcendental) he uses a combination of Masha'i-Ishraqi and Sadra'i elements.
