منهج ابن السكون الحلّي وجهوده في ضبط (نهج البلاغة)

Abstract

Al-Hilla is considered one of the famous towns in the Islamic
civilization. In some eras, it was a centre of science, culture and civilization. Its scholars had a pioneering role in the Islamic scientific heritage.
Some of the most important efforts of the scholars of Al-Hilla are memorization, adjusting and expanding the tradition heritage,
especially Nahjul Balaghah “The Peak of Eloquence” and Assaheefah
Assajjadiyah “The Scripture of Imam Sajjad”. Ibnus-Sakoon
Al-Hilli is considered one of those scholars whose efforts have been
forgotten as regards “The Peak of Eloquence”. In fact, his adjusted
and copied version of “The Peak of Eloquence” is the best and the
most important copy. The present paper attempts to shed light on the
efforts of this scholar in this respect.
