Literary worksarewritten in a time and place that aredirectly related to previous works; therefore, thewritings of the texts before themarenot ineffective. In this study, with the aim of investigating the influence of Ferdows al-Murshediyeh from Tabari’s history and KhajehAbdollah Ansari’sinterpretation, a descriptive-comparative methodwasused. The results of this study showedthe extent to which Sheikh Abu IshaqKazerouni borrowed from ancient sources and mystical interpretations and added to the previous texts and thoughts in relation to the new materials and themes.Ferdows al-Murshediyeh's study showed that Tabari’s history and exegesis of KhajehAbdollah Ansari were among the study sources of Sheikh Abu IshaqKazerouni and his disciples. Ferdows al-Murshediyeh's comparative study of Tabari’s history is evidence of a direct influence without referring to this mystical work in the field of creation and caliphate of Adam (AS) adopted from Tabari’s discussions. Also, the Sheikh’s mystical exegesis on the verses indicated the existence of an indirect influence of KhajehAbdollah Ansari’sinterpretation on its themes. In addition, the other mystics’views werein continuation of the exegetical method of this book based on KhajehAbdollah Ansari, which hada direct influence on the levels of phrases and vocabulary in most cases as quotations without a reference in the text.
