The authenticity of Sermon of ash-Shiqshiqiyahfrom Imam Ali (AS) based on the statistical stylistics of Bozeman

One of the most sectarian suspicions arises aboutNahjul-Balagha, is the suspicion of mentioning the al-Sahabah (the companions of Prophet Mohammad).In this regard, many cast doubt on the authenticity of the chain of transmission, or isnad, ofSermon of ash-Shiqshiqiyahto Imam Ali (AS) and claim that it is really the work of the compiler. However, those familiar with al-Radhi’s writings can easily identify differences between his and Imam ‘Ali’s styles.Therefore, the article with the descriptive and analytical method, aims to provide clear visions for Bozeman theory in the first phase and then seeks to response to the doubt concerningKhotbah of ash-Shiqshiqiyahbased on the statistical stylistics ofthis theory, andserves to remove all doubt on the authenticity of that particular sermon.
