Abstract
Writers sometimes use Quranic verses to show their complete and artistic mastery over rhetoric, and they sometimes, with poetic and skillful illustrations and by referring to verses, equip their speech with expressions and words on the basis of rhyme, or they create a masterpiece with alliteration, allegory, metaphor, and personification. Nafsat al-Masdoor, the excellent work of Mohammad Zeidari Nasavi, is an example of this; especially that the author, while using the verbal advantages of verses and hadiths as well as the literary style of the Quran and the rhythm of words, has considered the deep conceptual use of verses of the Quran and hadiths. Adaptation and use of verses and hadiths is one of the most important features of technical prose. Nafsat al-Masdoor is one of the most prominent historical-literary books in which the use of verses and hadiths is due to the authors' connection with the Ghaznavid sultans and the Mongols. His knowledge of political events and the expression of the politicians’ goals and their political secrecy in the form of literary tricks is one of the important features of this book. The present study uses the library method and content analysis to follow the common methods of using the verses and hadiths in Nafsat al-Masdoor as well as the innovative methods of Zeidari in adapting verses and hadiths. It should be noted that in the verbal application of the verses, some special methods are included as additional explanations in the text, which indicate the author's power in combining Quranic verses with his words. Spiritually, in most cases, the adaptation of verses and hadiths has been completed without semantic mediation.
