Abstract :

Kashf al-Asrar is one of the ancient Persian commentaries written by Rashid al-Din Meybodi more than nine centuries ago. In this commentary, below each verse in three stages (according to the author of the book three times) is stated. In this book, Rashid al-Din Meybodi first translates some of the verses into fluent Persian without explanation (Al-Nubah Al-Awali), then explains the opinions of commentators and scholars on the interpretation of the same part (Al-Nubah Al-Thaniyah) and in the third section expresses mystical points. In particular, he quotes his master Khajeh Abdullah Ansari (Al-Noba al-Thalasha) and generally in this section the beauty of Meybodi Persian prose can be seen. Most of all, the beauty of the prose of this precious interpretation is shown by the stylistics of the third part, which has been studied in the present study in the form of linguistic, literary and intellectual features
