Thematic study of the origin of plagiarism in Nahj al-Balagha and its response

The issue of blaming and forging is not unique to any homeland or literature, and its footprint is evident in the literature of every nation from the beginning to modern civilization. Therefore, the subject of narration and denial in poetry and literature has been examined at various times and in the modern era many challenges have arisen. Ibn Khallikan is the first to raise the issue of doubt in Nahj al-Balagha and its relation to Imam Ali (AS). Then many followers met him. In this regard, this essay aims to answer questions about the origin and the proportion of forgery in Nahj al-Balagha and the main reasons for rejecting it. According to Ibn Khallikan, his doubts about Nahj al-Balagha can be summed up in two points in the gathering of Nahj al-Balagha between Sharif Razi and Sharif Morteza, and in the correctness of Nahj al-Balagha's relation to Imam Ali (AS). This article attempts to use the descriptive-analytical method to answer the above-mentioned doubts based on narrative and religious reasons, and the narratives and ways of tolerance of hadith. Among the results of this research is that Sharif Razi is the collector of Nahj al-Balagha, not Sharif Morteza, as well as the ultimate theory in Nahj al-Balagha, and that Sharif Razi is the propeller of this work, not its collector, is in vain.
