Abstract :

Nahj al-Balagha is the words of Imam Ali, a sublime person who is perfect in theoretical and applied mysticim. Indeed, Imam Ali’s all mystical teachings are not reflected in this great book. He says that we ( Ahl al- Bayt) are the origin of wisdom, so if there is any knowledge and wisdom in the existence or even there is any mystical ideas and thoughts, they belong to us tatally. Thus we can frequently find the virtues of Aha al-Bayt and their sublime thoughts in Nahj al-Balagha. In this article we study these great virtues by citation to Quran and Ahadith-e Nabavi and we also analyse deeply the meaning  of Ahl al-Bayt and one of the most verces of Quran which is called “Verse of Tathiir”. Many of the famous interpretations( Sharh va Tafsir) of Nahj al-Balghah are used as the authentic refrences in the present article. As a result we find that all the mentioned virtues of Ahl al-Bayt are originated and derived from their mystical aspect of life. A descriptive-analytical method based on library research has been used in this study.
