Abstract

Many of the mystical views of Sadr al-Mutallahin (1050-979 A.H.) in his commentary books have no obvious source and have led scholars to erroneous judgments. The main claim of this article is that Mullā Sadrā, in the mystical part of his commentary, in addition to the quotations and phrases he quotes from famous mystics, has borrowed from a lesser-known commentary by an Iranian mystic. This commentary is known as Bahr al-Haqiqah wa al-Ma'āni or the interpretations of Najmiyah, and it is owned by Najmuddin Razi (574-654 AH), the author of Mersād al - ‘ebād, which unfortunately has not been mentioned in any of the books and articles written about Mulla Sadra's sources; But it is clear that Mullā Sadrā knew the interpretation of the Sea of ​​Truths and quoted directly from it; Another thing is that many of the things that Sadrā quotes from Neyshābouri's allusive parts of Tafsir al-Gharib al-Qur'an are from Najmuddin Rāzi in Bahr al-Haqāyeq, which is probably unknowingly attributed to Nizām al-din Neyshābouri (who died after 728 AH). In this research, some examples of these direct and indirect perceptions have been proposed and compared with the main sources. The final part of the article is devoted to examples that have been presented in contemporary research on Mullā Sadrā's mystical ideas, analysis and theory, but in fact have not been specific to him.
