In an interview to the Hawza Elmiye Qom's monthly magazine "Hawza", he was asked:

Hawza Team: Hazrat, tell us about your education at Hawza Elmiye Najaf and your teachers there.

Ustad Najafi: My stay at Najaf was short ... I completed my education in 6 years ... At Najaf, the total number of courses I used to study and teach daily often reached up to ten. ... Once my teacher Grand Ayatollah Shaikh Jawad Tabrizi said to me in light mood:

"Why do you take so much strain, what is the logic in taking ten courses daily? Iranians say: 'The climate of Najaf is dry, thus taking one course in Najaf is not enough, but taking two courses is more than enough.'"

He wrote the following books during his stay at Najaf:

1. Isbat ul-Imamat
2. Tahqeeqat ul-Fariqain fi Hadis as-Saqlain
3. Iqd ul-Juma'n (Translation of Mafatih al-Janan)
4. A'dab ul-Mufeed wal Mustafeed (Translation of Munia tul-Murid)
5. Faiz ur-Rehman (Translation of Lu'lu wal Marjan)

Grand Ayatollah Bazurg Tehrani has mentioned these books in his famous book Az-Zariya ila Tasaneef ush-Shia (A list of Shia Books), and Aalulbayt Global information Center has mentioned these books in their Musannifat-ush-Shia (Shia Books).
