Madā‘inī, one of the historians of the 3rd century AH, was a prolific writer in social, cultural and especially historical fields. His scientific command of the events in the Islamic history caused him to have the most number of writings compared to his contemporaries. Just the titles of those books have been mentioned in lists of sources. Among the subjects compiled by Madā‘inī are his historical writings about the Shiite Imams, some of which complete the works of the previous historians and some others are among his own innovations. This study is based on the historical data in older sources and analyzes and describes monographs compiled by Madā‘inī regarding the biography of the Shiite Imam. This study is seeking to answer the question on the role of Madā‘inī’s written heritage regarding the lives of the Shiite Imams and its effect on the next writings in that regard. Without paying attention to his own religious views, he has compiled extensive historical accounts with special issues regarding the Shiite Imams, especially Imam Ali and some other of the Shiite Imams, which shows his broad views about those great personages.

Muslim Sufis consider their tradition as the heritage of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), especially Imam Ali (AS), and consider them as the great shaykhs and founders of their way. Nevertheless, because Sufism emerged ang grows up in a non-Shiite context and, it has known as a Sunni religion. Recognition of this duality in the Sufi belief, that is adherence to Sunni Religion and Shiite originality, seems to be a fundamental issue for understanding the Sufi thought; Therefore, this research wants to answer two questions: First, what is the Sufi’s emotional-ideological approach to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), especially Imam Ali (AS) and his speech in Persian mystical texts until the end of ninth century? And what is the tendency and devotion to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) among the Sufis? The present study, which has been prepared in an analytical-descriptive approach and based on library studies, proves that Sufism has an evolutionary course that consists of a neutral encounter with the Innocents (AS) and the alikeness of Imams with others, and then a slight elaboration of the Ahl al-Bayt. (AS) begins and gradually reaches the peak of devotion and compassion to them and finally to Shiism.

The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has examined the altruistic and self-sacrificing image of Imam Ali (as) in the thought of Attar and Rumi. The study of their works shows that the reason why modern humans favor their ideas derives from their emphasis on human dignity and value and its most important manifestation is to love and serve human being, altruism. In their works, in addition to the sincere eulogy of Imam Ali (AS) and the expression of his attributes, they both refer to the major events of his life, expressing the kind and sacrificial character of him that God says about him: "And some people sacrifice their lives to gain God's favor." They praised Imam Ali (as) as a great model of moral virtues, especially love, sincerity, altruism and self-sacrifice, and encouraged people to follow him. Because he, who according to Attar is "the mountain of sorrow and the door of knowledge and the center of religion", considers the first principle in associating with people as love, respect and friendship of others and addresses the Malik: "Fill your heart with people's affection and their friendship and favor". "In fact, his practical life has been full respect and trust in others." Rumi also called him "the pride of every prophet and every saint" and called him the master of all believing men and women, who always considered altruism as one of the important principles of his teachings and his heart was full of loving people and guiding them.

In this article, in a descriptive-analytical way Imam Ali’s Karāmāt that have remained in the Sufis’ texts, and it is imagined that a part of his conception of the Prophet was formed on the basis of these virtues, and the image of Imam Ali (a.s.) and his position and The role of sleep and dreams in the discovery and intuition of mystics has been discussed. This study shows that one of the most important functions of mystics' sleep was solving many of their mental problems and concerns, which are mostly in the field of religious and mystical issues. In addition to expressing these issues through sleep, they also added to its impact on the audience; Because the solution of these problems has been done in a dream by the language of God, Prophet (PBUH) and Sufi Sheikhs. In addition to solving problems in the dreams of mystics, there are revelations of the type of inspiration that inform about events that have not yet happened in reality..

God has a certain relationship with creature which has been profoundly described in some of narrations regarding Imam Ali (AS). Based on the findings of this study, God the Almighty is the origin of the universe and can be found everywhere and the world can be considered as a place for His signs and He surrounds everything. As a result, God the Almighty accompanies objects in manifestation i.e. God does not exist inside objects and simultaneously exists within the universe. It means that God is accompanying the creation and every object, so the living creature is a sign of His presence and existence. Ofcourse, the creatures’ value and position are not equal to that of God i.e. they are not at the same position with God the Almighty to accompany Him.Thus God is unique in His nature, but in His manifestation, He can be found alongwith the creatures.

Using oath words is one of the oldest methods of emphatic speech, with a long precedence in the Arabic culture and language. This kind of emphasis is done because of numerous reasons, among which are the following: weak possibility of realization of the subject, weirdness of the subject, and the addressee’s denial of it. Oath words in Arabic enjoy a unique variety and multiplicity. One of the most prominent examples of multiplicity of the oath style and variety of its use is found in the unparalleled book of Nahj al-Balagha. This study investigates the relationship between the oath words, and what are sworn on in Nahj al-Balagha  to show the difference in usage and the subject of usage in each word to uncover its delicacies and beauties in denotation and connotation. Investigating the significance of various oaths in Nahj al-Balagha shows that all oath words are common in denoting emphasis, but each has a different semantic connotation with a strong relationship to what is sworn on, in a way that substitution of each similar word leads to a reduction of semantic eloquence of the word.
