The Representation of Irony in the Holy Prophet's Speech

Indirect references add to the depth and magnitude of a work and will highlight its beauty and freshness. Ironic style contains beauty of speech and is beneficial, benefits that cannot be achieved through direct speech. This research is an attempt to explore the representation of irony in prophet's speech hoping that we might depict a part of his rhetorical power. Meanwhile, we try to answer the following questions: what is the significance of irony in prophet's view? How did he employ it? Why did he use it? To do so we have selected some of his speeches with ironic implications and referred to some source books such as Almojazat Alnabaviyate by Sharif Razi and tried to render further explanations.
