Abstract

One of the symbols of Fatimiyya-Studies is the comprehension of sciences and knowledge left as a legacy by Lady Fatimah, which, like the profound words of the Prophet (PBUH) and the narrations of the infallible Imams (AS), serves as a guiding light for humanity. These truths originate from the eternal source of revelation and ultimately eloquence and rhetoric, the exposition of which holds significant importance. In this article, the intertextual relationships and rhetorical styles of the speech of Lady Fatimah (SA) in the Fadak Sermon are evaluated with a reliance on the perspective of the Supreme Leader. From the perspective of the Leader, this sermon, in terms of artistic beauty, resembles the most beautiful expressions of Nahj al-Balaghah (The Peak of Eloquence), and its revolutionary nature stems from the lessons of Lady Fatimah’s Fadak Sermon, in which she refers to the factors for its continuity. Based on the information obtained from this study, it became evident that rhetorical devices such as rhyme, pun (jinas), simile, allusion, metaphor, analogy, citation, etc., in the speech of Lady Fatimah, have been employed to strengthen meaning, create enthusiasm and motivation in the audience to listen to all the words, enhance clarity of meanings, empower speech, evoke emotions, and enhance the beauty and eloquence of speech for greater impact on the audience. In general, Lady Fatimah has used these rhetorical styles to explain the subject and create the necessary motivation in the audience. In examining the intertextual relationships; associative synthesis, complete substantive citation, partial citation, stylistic association, complete thematic or universal negation, partial citation, and parallel negation were discovered. The research method is descriptive-analytical, aiming to reveal the intertextual relationships and rhetorical styles of the sermon with a focus on the perspective of the Supreme Leader.
