خلاصة:
The present research has been carried out with the aim of analyzing the content of Abdul Ali Halabi’s narration qualitatively following Prop’s morphology. The question is what the morphology of Abdul Ali Halabi’s narration is? The findings of the present research show that the morphological models can be compared and adopted to Halaذi’s narration and the extraction of these models leads to the fine analysis of the society at the time of appearance. In this narration, the expressions of acts of departure 21 times, recognition 20 times, the act of heroism 18 times, reports 12 times, and acts of evil 11 times have been mentioned. Departure refers to Imam’s and his followers’ quickness in action in migrating and having plans against the enemy. Recognition demonstrates the misguidance of the people of the age of appearance and the forgetfulness of the attributes of Imam of the time and his companions. The act of evil is indicative of the obstacles on the path and the stonewalling of the enemies against the establishment and spread of the rule of Divine justice. The opening scene of this narration reports an event that expresses a change and transformation in the society of age of appearance. This element along with departure and evil act demonstrate that these events occur as the result of the departures and enmity of evil characters.

The findings of the present research show that the morphological patterns are compatible with al-Halabi's narration, and extracting these patterns leads to an analysis of the society of the era of the Appearance.

By reviewing existing works and sources, we observe the conclusion that although existing research has performed well in terms of method and content, they have not examined Mahdist narrations—especially those with a narrative character, such as the narration of Abd al-A'la al-Halabi—using the morphological method; whereas, given the narrative nature of these narrations, applying these patterns and analyzing them will yield novel results.
Research Method The morphological method is based on the tale or story, and Propp's patterns are only applicable to texts that have a narrative character.
Research Process First, the Halabi narration was extracted from Hadith sources, and then its content was decomposed into tables based on Propp's model, which examines functions, characters, initial scenes, and motivations; subsequently, these components were analyzed.
In Propp's morphological method, patterns have been presented that are compatible with the narration of Abd al-A'la al-Halabi.
