Analysis of the Social Approach of Imam Riḍā (as) in the Face of the Leaders of the Zaydiyya) By Modeling the Method of Narrative Discourse Analysis (PDAM))

Conduct and speech behavior of Imam Riḍā (as) can be considered as a model in interactions. During this period, "Zaydiyya" is considered one of the most revolutionary Shiite sects that was not much approved and supported by the Imam of his time. Imam Reza's interactions with the Zaydiyya sect as a deviant friend provide an organized pattern of behavior that will pave the way for new issues. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to identify the social approaches of Imam Riḍā (as) discourse in the face of the leaders of the Zaydiyya sect. Imam Riḍā (as) has left valuable behavioral guidelines in social discourses related to the public and scholars, by raising the issues of monotheism, Imamate and Wilayah and answering questions and doubts. These discourses are also indirectly influenced by the third element of the discourse (Ma'mun Abbasi-Power). The basic axes of creating the discourse of Imam Riḍā (as) with the leaders of the Zaydiyya sect (deviant friend), against the common enemy (Ma'mun), has been done with the aim of enlightenment and guidance; but the main axes in creating Razavi discourse with Ma'mun are with the aim of explanation and non-compromise, which is sometimes accompanied by taqīya (precaution) in commenting. In each of these approaches, we come to the central signs that play an important role in analyzing the discourse of Imam Riḍā (as) with Zaydiyya.
