Choronology of the hadith of Silan-e Nafs-e Nabi in Imam Ali's (AS) hand using document analysis

In Nahj al-Balaghah sermon 197, Ali (AS) described the last moments of the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life in "w laqad qubid rasul alllah w 'inn rasah laealaa sadri w laqad salat nafsuh fi kaffi, fa'amrartuha ealaa wajhi." Due to the textual and documentary ambiguities in the mentioned hadith, the present article has validated and examined this seremon. Our approach in this paper is document -text chronology. Based on this method, by analyzing similar texts and classifying them in separate tables, we drew a spider web, determined the common loop, and investigated the evolution of narrative. To understand the accuracy of the narration, paying attention to the first source that contains the theme of the hadith of Silan-e Nafs-e Nabi and how this source has found its way to other sources is one of the most important purposes of this article. In the next stage, the narations of the narrators and their relationships with each other, motives, and causes of distortion were investigated. As a final point, with sufficient reasons, while pointing out the cause of distortion and the source of the dispute (Sadiqah Ibn Saeed), finally we concluded that apparent meaning is unlikely and its specific meaning should be sought.
