Abstract

Kashmir is one of the regions that has introduced a lot of poets to Persian literature throughout history. One of the poets whose works indicate his important role in promoting the Persian language in Kashmir is Yaqoob Sarfi Kashmiri who lived in 5 A.H. Adapting from Nizami Ganjavi, Sarfi has composed Khamsa which is a series of five Masnavis also known as Panj-Gunj and his fourh Gunj is Maghāzī al-Nabī which is an adaptation of Eskandar-nameh (Iskandarnamah) (Persian: اسکندرنامه) "The Book of Alexander"written by Nizami Ganjavi and the only difference is that this poem is devoted to the life and battles of the Prophet (PBUH) and it has not been published yet.

In this study, in addition to introducing the manuscripts of Maghāzī al-Nabī, the author has examined stylistic devices as well as phonetic, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical peculiarities of the work. Moreover, the author, along with features of style, has attempted to reveal the true character of Sarfi as a meticulous historian who has described the events occurring in the life of the prophet.
