This study explores the relationship between the extraordinary poetic achievement of Sharīf al-Raḍī (d. 406/1016) in his highly lyrical and influential Dīwān, on the one hand, and the literary-religious accomplishment of his unrivalled compilation of the sermons, epistles, and sayings of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, Nahj al-balāghah, on the other. It examines the interplay among the contemporary Mutanabbī-dominated literary scene, the Imāmī Shīʿite dominated Baghdādī politico-religious scene, and, in Islamic scholarship generally, the increasingly balāghah- (rhetoric)-focused theological discourse on iʿjāz al-Qurʾān (the miraculous inimitability of the Qurʾān). Finally, the paper attempts to connect al-Raḍī’s sense of alienation and dispossession from his hereditary right to rule—one that he has found so strikingly expressed in the sermons of his forefather ʿAlī—and the extraordinary lyrical-elegiac strain in his own poetry.

这项研究一方面探讨了沙里夫·拉希（Sharīfal-Raḍī）（卒于406/1016）的非凡诗意成就，一方面是他在极富抒情和影响力的狄旺（Dīwān）中的文学宗教成就，也是他无与伦比的布道，书信和文学宗教成就之间的关系。以及《阿里·本·阿本·阿里卜》（Nahjal -balāghah）的俗语。它研究了当代以穆塔纳比为主导的文学场景，以伊玛目·什叶派为主导的巴格达政客与宗教之间的相互作用，以及在整个伊斯兰学者中，越来越多的以“修辞”为重点的以神学为基础的关于伊扎查兹·古兰经的神学话语。（《古兰经》的奇迹般的不可模仿性）。最后，这篇论文试图将拉希的疏远感和剥夺感与他的世袭统治权联系在一起-他已经在他的祖先《阿历》的讲道中如此醒目地表达了这一点-以及他诗歌中非同寻常的抒情意味。
