Abstract

The scriptures in every culture and language have been the main source for their followers. As the eternal miracle of the Prophet of Islam has been the Holy Quran (speech), its influence on the minds of Muslims for creating literary works has been more obvious than the scriptures of other religions. After the Holy Quran the words of the Prophet (Pbuh) and the imams and religious leaders have had the greatest influence on Muslims’ opinions and ideas and literary works of Muslim poets and writers. Although researchers have repeatedly pointed this influence and clarified several cases, still there is room for research in this field. Nevertheless, the great book Nahjolbalagha has not received its due attention. Inspired by Imam’s Ali (As)’s rhetoric and great ideas, Saadi, the unrivaled poet in Persian poetry and prose, has borrowed 200 concepts of Nahjolbalagha in his Golestan. In this article, 62 of them, from chapter 4 to 8 are presented.
