Abstract

One of the requirements of the research is the description and interpretation of the attributes and virtues of Amir al-Mu’minin (A.S). “Anza’ Bateen” is one of the attributes of Imam Ali (A.S) which is used in historical, narrative and pilgrimage texts. Recently, some researchers have considered these two words as the adjectives of condemnation and reprimand, and therefore they have put forward the hypothesis that these two adjectives were used by the enemies of Amir al-Mu’minin (A.S) falsified and attributed. Does such an approach raise the issue of what these two adjectives mean in Arabic literature and culture? The current article, by examining these two words in the Arabic language and culture and the sources of two major sects of Islam, has discussed their real meaning and proved that “Anza” and “Bateen” have the meaning of praise and are among the original attributes of Amir al-Mu’minin (A.S).
