Style is a special method of poetry and prose that the author selects, and stylistics is the science of analyzing speech elements, which contains varied layers. The chants of Imam Ali (AS) in Kufa contain strength and depth of the structure and meaning. This paper studies the chants by the descriptive-analytical stylistics method. Prayer and chants are both dialogues with God, but a chant is a kind of warm conversation with God. Repeating the words not only decreases the eloquence but also improves it; in addition, it’s proportional to the atmosphere and the requirements of the chant. It could be understood that the words are used in the best place by analyzing and understanding the meaning of words and similar words. Use of the present tense, subjective and objective nouns in accordance with the asked meaning in the chant. Additionally, using the conjunctive letter "and" incessantly, in sentences make it more dynamic and interconnected.

Stylistics as a branch of modern linguistics always strives to examine the text in terms of aesthetics, regardless of history, society and the life of its author, which extratextual matters. Studying the Surahs of the Quran from this point of view indicates that the Quran is a technical, precise, timeless and super-human text and has a unique and consistent structure. The framework of stylistics includes a review of phonology, vocabulary, sequences, definite or indefinite structures, singular and plural words, repetition, nominal or verbal sentences, and types of questions and so on. The present study examines the aesthetic and stylistic aspects of the Surah Al-Qamar through a descriptive-analytical method, while taking into account the unique context of the Surah itself. The result of the study revealed that, given the context of the Surah, words, sentences, and letters have been used artistically in a unique sequence and position. The words serve the meaning perfectly, and the meaning has affected the choice of words, in a way that it would not be possible to modify, move, or make a suggestion in order to alter and transform the text.

One of the most important aspects of the miracle of the Quran is its literary miracle which has made scholars and linguists pay attention to the Holy Quran. With the development of linguistic issues in the theoretical and practical fields, the Islamic scientists have appreciated the values of this science, and are going to apply it to the Holy Quran as the most eloquent speech. In this article, Sura Al Jumah has been divided into four categories: Phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and rhetoric and each category has been considered in relation to stylistics. The findings indicate that each word in the Quran has a special meaning and has been place in its best position and the arrangement of the words is in the way that each word syntactically is in its best place. Moreover, all these combinations have the rhetoric reason.

Stylistics is a science that deals with speech elements, and pays attention to repeated characteristics of a given text. It consists of a variety of layers and aspects and knowing the word-selection system and type of the text words is one of its layers. The prayer of Abu Hamza al-Tumuli is one of the prayers which is excellent in terms of semantics and structure, as well as its artistic value. This paper aims to investigate the prayer of Abu Hamza al-Tumuli in terms of its word layers through an analytic-descriptive method and to explain the reason behind the selections of some of the words by Imam Sajjad (pbuh). The use of the repetitions as well as synonyms is necessary for a lovely worship, and this prayer is a lovely worship which is full of synonymous sentences and words, especially about the blessing and kindness of God. Most of the words of this prayer are about logical and abstract concepts. The investigation of the meaning of the words and their differences with their synonyms could clarify the reason behind their selections by Imam Sajjad( pbuh). Additionally, it could confirm that the selections and positions of the words are in their best places. The paper analyzes the words whose selections by Imam Sajjad(pbuh) might seem question raising and vague to the readers, but after the analyses of them , the readers get to know that the words are in their best places and functions.
