Abstract
Among the lexical items used in the verses and narrations is the word curse. This lexical item has been used in numerous cases of religious discourses. Imamiyya jurists have presented various opinions on the apparent meaning of this word and its derivatives. Some of them have considered curse to be apparent in the comprehensive sense of prohibition and prohibition of prohibition, and some others have considered prohibition to be apparent in prohibition, and have used it as obligatory prohibition. By citing the words of some scholars of linguistics, the exclusiveness of cursing in the divine book to forbidden things, the religious prohibition of cursing the people of faith, the scarcity of the use of the lexical item curse in abominations, and the behavior and construction of intellects, it is possible to prove the appearance of curse in prohibition. Also, in the appearance of this lexical item in prohibition, there is no difference between the use of curse by the lawgiver in the form of news or composition.This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and by exploring the documentary sources of Imamiyyah jurisprudence, has examined the conceptualization of curse and, by analyzing some cases of the use of this word in the book and tradition, has examined the expressions of Imamiyyah jurists regarding this concept
