Abstract

This study deals with one of the important topics in Arabic literature due to its connection with the Holy Qur’an and the noble Prophet’s Sunnah, which is the effect of Qur’anic intertextuality in clarifying the meaning of “Manzelat Hadith”. We can call this process intertextuality in modern literature. In this phenomenon a certain topic will be enriched by other texts and incidents. It actually interconnects similar events. The “Manzelat Hadith” is interconnected with qur’anic events. For example, the story of the prophets, Aaron and Moses is similar to the story of the Holy prophet Muhammad and Imam Ali (PBH). In the Manzelat Haith, we saw that these two characters are both infallible and Imam Ali success the Holy Prophet, just like the prophet Moses and his brother, Aaron. We can infer from this intertextuality and allegory that our holy prophet Muhammad has used from Quranic stories in his speeches. Through this research, we are going to prove that Imam Ali was infallible and he was the successor of the Holy Prophet just like Aaron. The findings are as the following: Imam Ali (PBH) possess all the ranks of Aaron except he was not a prophet; in this Hadith we see no conditions. Imam Ali was the best after the Holy prophet. Likewise, Ali was the minister of the Prophet, his special assistant and supporter, and his partner in his leadership, because the Qur’an established all these positions for Aaron.
