The Content and Language Analysis of a Unique Boasting by the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) Narrated by Najmeddin Razi

Abstract

The unpredictability of various forms of lyric literature, which is rooted in the limitless manifestations of human emotions, reinforces this thought that in the corner of various works, there is a possibility of emergence of a new and even unknown example of this type of literature in one of its many sub-branches. One of these possible examples is an original boasting written by Najmeddin Razi from the words of the Holy Prophet Mohammad. All aspects of the content and language of the mentioned piece have naturally been affected by the unique position of the boaster. The writing ability and the deep devotion of the author of Mersad ol-Ebad undoubtedly added to the impact of this hypothetical boasting. In this article, while extracting and introducing this special piece, the content and linguistic components that make this boasting stand out compared to other common boastings in Persian literature will be presented and analyzed considering the unprecedented centrality of its high-ranking speaker, the Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
