Shaykh al-Mufid criticizes al-Saduq for not maintaining taqiyya in his books

 Shaykh al-Mufid criticizes al-Saduq for ruling that taqiyya is obligatory and one cannot leave it before the rise of the Qa’im.

But at the same time, (al-Mufid notes), al-Saduq violated taqiyya by exposing his Shi’i beliefs in his lectures, gatherings, and books.

It makes one wonder: did Sh al-Mufid maintain taqiyya in some of his writings / books? If so, which books?

(Tashih I’tiqadat al-Imamiyya, page 138)

“Abu Ja’far [al-Saduq] spoke about this topic (taqiyya) in general terms and did not go in details - as we clarified.

And he issued the rulings regarding taqiyya [being completely obligatory until rise of the Qa’im], despite not performing taqiyya - resulting in the loss of the purpose of taqiyya, and ruled in leaving what is obligatory in its meaning. 

For indeed, [the taqiyya was violated] when he exposed himself in what he believed from the haqq (truth) in his famous gatherings, his known maqamat, and his books that circulated in the horizons”.
