Interactive Influence of Narrative Books in the Context of Internal and Extra-Textual Approaches - a Case Study of “Tārikh al- Anbia’ of Bihār al-Anwār” And “al-Nour al-Mobin”

Feasibility study of the two-way influence between writings can be important in identifying the history of thought and the dominant discourse space on readers in the field of thought. Narrative books are no exception to this rule and are included in this drawing space. In this paper, as a case study on the interactive influence of narrative books, considering the importance of the subject of the history of the Prophets research, this measure of influence has been traced specifically in two Books with a focus on the stories of the prophets. For this purpose, the section “Kitāb al-nobowwat of Bihār al-Anwār” (including volumes 11-14) and “al-Nour al-Mobin” in two approach readings, including the author- centered and text-based approach, are comparatively evaluated. Highlighting the relationship between the teacher and the disciple between Allameh Majlesi and Muhaddeth Jaza’eri, as well as the Jaza’eri scientific assistance to his master, is the main characteristic of the author-centered approach, so that cooperation in writing on some problem hadiths and solving some of the materials of writing can be identified as his assistance in strengthening Bihār al-Anwār. In the text-based approach, the similarities and differences between the two books are considered and the interactive influence and two sides of the two books are depicted.
