Shias often call Ibn Hadeed a Sunni , and try to mislead the common people. Here is what Habbatullah Shahristani says about this Rafidhi.
ذكر السيد هبة الله شهرستانى (1) أنها تنوف على الخمسين شرحا ... ولكن أعظم هذه الشروح وأطولها ، وأشملها بالعلوم والاداب والمعارف وأملؤها ، هو شرح عز الدين عبد الحميد بن أبى الحديد المدائني ، صنفه برسم خزانة مؤيد الدين أبى طالب محمد بن أحمد بن العلقمي ، وزير المستعصم بالله ، آخر ملوك العباسيين . " كان من فضلاء الشيعة وأعيانهم ببغداد ، مائلا للاداب مقربا للادباء ، وكانت له خزانة كتب فيها عشرة آلاف مجلد من نفائس الكتب

Al Sayyid Habbatullah Shahristani says that there are more than 50 sharh of it (i.e Nahjul balagha) , but the biggest sharah which includes knowledge, adab, and muarif and is filled with it, is the sharh of Izzuddin Abdul hamid bin Abil hadeed al madaini's sharh. He wrote this sharh for the library of Abu Talib Muhamad bin Ahmad bin Alqami, the wazir of Mustasim Billah, the last king of Abbassids. He (i.e Alqami) was amongst the nobles of Shia, and their giants in Baghdad, he had inclination towards 'adab', and held close the 'adaba', and in his library were 10,000 precious books.

Remember Alqami is the famous traitor, whose famous treason is well known, which led to the fall of the Abbasid Empire.

Neither Our Scholars  have spare time to waste by writing 20 volumes Shareh of Nahjul Balagha.
