Abstract

The narrative, interpretive and historical reports of the Shafi'i Al-Suyuti about the manners (Sirah) and virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) can be seen in many of his writings. Based on library sources and descriptive-analytical method, this article has extracted and analyzed Al-Suyuti reports on the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (AS). Writing independent articles about the superiority of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), mentioning the shortcomings of their opponents, the results of loving the Infallibles (AS) and expressing the position of their lovers were very prominent in the eyes of Al-Suyuti. The Qur'anic-narrative approach to Imam Ali, Fatima and Hasnain (AS) shows the special devotion and affection of Al Suyuti towards the Pure Five [Khamseh Tayyiba]. Imam Sajjad, Imam Reza and Baqīyat Allah (AS) have also been considered in his narration. His significant silence towards the honest and other Ahl al-Bayt (AS) stems from the biased ideas of the rulers and the type of religious delimitations of the Al-Suyuti era.
