Ahmad Reza Yalameha (Author in Charge), Farahnaaz Emami Shahrezai , Omid Majd

Abstract
Majma Albahrain is a ritual poetry collection which includes over 11400 bits. Although this collection has some unique characteristics including a very mature language, simultaneous classical and modern style, comprehensive description of Prophet Mohammad’s life and Imam Ali’s courage with an epical statement, it has not received much attention. Asiri has deep skills in verbal and literary details, however, verbal details such as Repeat and pun are more frequently seen in Majma Albahrain whose audiences are mostly the public. He has not spent much devotion to in-depth thinking and has utilized spiritual expressions pretty modestly. Simile and figural have been most and least frequently utilized, respectively. Among the specific characteristics of this poet’s thought we can name mystical thoughts, unity simultaneous with plurality and plurality simultaneous with unity and perfect human being. The authors have tried to clarify the importance and characteristics of Majma Albahrain using the method of induction, description and analysis and with linguistic investigation of this collection.
