Abstract
.Nahj al-Balagha contains different forms of talk with Allah. Given Imam Ali’s attention to the talk in different contexts of his speech, his praying phrases in battlefields were chosen as the subject of the present study with an emphasis on Imam Ali (PBUH)’s phrasing of glorification of Allah. The phrases of glorification in Nahj al-Balagha are examined as speech acts with the analytic-descriptive method and by using library sources. The research findings show that while the speech acts are open to an emotional interpretation, by passing through the formal structure of the phrases, each of them is found to be open to several interpretations, and Imam Ali (PBUH) has utilized the underlying and intricate structure of the phrases to explain meanings and persuade the audience. Using the framework of John Searle’s speech act theory, it was observed that expressives, directives and assertives are in descending order Nahj al-Balagha’s most frequent speech acts in Imam Ali’s phrases of glorification of Allah in battlefields and that declarations and commissives have been less frequent
