Qamus Nahj al balagha
In the Arabic language, the term "Qamoos" refers to a dictionary or lexicon. It is used to denote a comprehensive reference work that lists words in a language (typically in alphabetical order) and provides their meanings, definitions, and often additional information. This book "Qamus Nahj al-balāgha " is a lexicon of the book Nahj al-balāgha, which is basically a collection of sayings and writings of Imam 'Ali (a) which have been compiled by al-Sayyid al-Radi in late 4th/10th century (finished in 400/1009-10). Nahj al-balagha has been organized into three parts: sermons, letters and short sayings. Throughout the sermons, Imam (a) calls people to obey God's orders and abandon prohibitions and in his letters advises his agents to observe the rights of people. Kalimat al-qisar (short sayings) of Nahj al-balagha are a collection of wise sayings stated at the Peak of Eloquence.
