The Will of Imam Ali(pbuh) to his Son Imam Al-Hassan(pbuh) in Nahj Al-Balagha: A Pragmatic Study

Abstract

Abstract The research is divided into two sections, the first of which is concerned about the real significance and what styles does it include. The second section is designed to study and discuss the metaphoric styles in the commandment. We started with studying the various aspects of the metaphors and how are they implemented to convey the intended meaning in the reverse metaphoric significance. Then, we proceeded to clarify how the meanings of the metaphoric statement and inference statement are semantically united. At last we dealt with the last phase which is the repetition of the metaphoric expression and the difference in meaning as the context requires.
