Manifestations of inclusion in the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya

Abstract

The Sajjadi texts were distinguished by their blending with other texts that included them in wording, meaning, or both, to form a single text. The more the literary and propaganda text is open to other texts, and the more it includes some meanings, the more it has the ability to influence the recipient. The propaganda text of Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) is one of the solid texts that were written in a time of diverse literary and linguistic cultures, and its author possesses knowledge and a diversity of cultures that no other scholar or writer possesses. Researching his supplications (peace be upon him) requires a significant amount of knowledge from both religious and scientific culture. I do not claim to possess a sufficient amount of knowledge, but we should deduce and draw from the sea of ​​knowledge of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (may God’s prayers be upon them all). In this research, I dealt with inclusion in two parts: the first: the theoretical aspect, which included inclusion in the view of language and terminology, and mentioned the types of inclusion and its history. The second: The practical aspect, which included the prose inclusion in which I dealt with the Sajjadi texts that included the sayings and hadiths of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and his family) and the sayings, hadiths and wisdom of the People of the House (peace be upon them). Nahj al-Balagha had the largest share of prose inclusion in Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, which included some texts in wording and others in meaning. The poetic inclusion in which the Sajjadi texts were addressed, which included meanings or words of poets who preceded Imam Ali bin Al-Hussein Al-Sajjad (peace be upon them), including Imam Amir Al-Mu’minin (peace be upon him) from Al-Sahifa Al-Sajjadiyya, and analyzing them with a linguistic, rhetorical, and semantic analysis.
