| Summary: | The Battle Tales of Hz. Ali, considered under the title of religious heroism sagas, are the examples of
the apparent Arabic-Persian and Turkish cultural interactions. Battle tales can be considered within
Arabic literature since it naraates the heroic behaviors shown by Hz. Ali during the Islamic Conquest.
At the same time; they can be classifeid under the Persian literature for its supernatural legendary and
mythological properties in some stories and the story telling styles in the battle tales comported with
the renown mythological Persian hero Rüstem and his heroisms mentioned in the Şehname. The battle
tales type, regarding its place in the Turkish culture and literature, has been a type that have been
attracting people since 13th century in Anatolia due to the righteousness, bravery, commitment to the
Messenger Hz. Muhammed and heroism of Hz. Ali. The text we based our examination is a poetic and
prosaic work that was taken from a manuscript in the National Library Written Manuscripts Collection 06 Mil Yz Cönk 221. This study deals with the motives in the works named Siyer-i Nebi and Havernâme
through the motive of “Battle of Hz. Ali with the lion” and the influence of the Şehname in these works.
It is possible to say that his Hz. Ali is presented with his mythological and legendry character in these
works. While the battle scenes in the available text, not being completely accurate, are seen to be similar
to the heroisms of Hz. Ali in the Conquest of Hayber regarding their historical layers. The Battle Tales
of Hz. Ali, a common material for both our classical literature and folk culture and literature, is written
free of sectarian radicalism and in quality, that is, unifying and holistic regarding its context being built
around the excellent character of Hz. Ali who is respected by all Islamic world. |
