Abstract | ||
Sahifa Al-Sajjadia consists of the prayers of Imam Zeinol Abedin including fifty four prayers which have great importance in the religious doctrines. Every one, who studies these prayers and contemplates their meanings, can figure out the high spiritual rank of Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him). Taking Imam Sajjad’s grandeur as well as the importance of this book into consideration, various explanations have been written about it but none of them have separately defined the rhetoric of these prayers including meaning, statement, and speech figures. It is necessary for us to pay more attention to this worthwhile book, and the scholars and academcs should devote more time to studying and doing research on such a fount as they have made an effort to succeed in the explanation of Quran and Nahjol-Balagheh. In this paper, the figures of speech including verbal and semantic in the Sahifa Sajjadia have been specified based on a field research. We have shown that there are many examples of the verbal and semantic figures of speech in Sahifa. There are a lot of examples of the verbal figures of speech especially including pun and riming-prose in the Sahifa, and actually there is no prayer without these features. Moreover, a lot of examples of the semantic figures of speech especially including parallelism, oxymoron, congeries, and antimetabole in the Sahifa. | ||
