چکیده:
Speech act theory is one of the most important theories that has influenced the two fields of philosophy of language and religious language. Austin, the provider of this theory, called the use of language to perform actions such as declaring, promising, asserting, threatening, etc., a speech act. He identified the unit of linguistic communication as speech acts, meaning that linguistic communication occurs when the speaker performs a speech act. John Searle, based on this theory, divided speech acts into five categories: assertives, declaratives, commissives, directives, and expressives. Examining the textual analysis of the pilgrimage prayer of Imam Reza (AS) based on the above classification showed that out of a total of 107 speech acts used in this text, expressive acts had the highest number with 38 cases, and declarative acts had the lowest number with 22 cases. Additionally, no commissive speech acts were used in the above text. The above results indicate the creation of a deep emotional connection between the speaker and the audience or audiences of the pilgrimage prayer. In other words, the speaker of the text has attempted to share feelings such as devotion, gratitude, and friendship with their audience through this text. The negligible difference between the number of other acts used in the text compared to the total number of existing acts does not seem significant.

John Searle, based on this theory, classified speech acts into five categories: assertive, declarative, commissive, directive, and expressive.
A textual analysis of the Ziyaratnameh of Imam Reza (AS) based on the above classification showed that out of a total of 107 speech acts used in this text, expressive acts had the highest number with 38 cases, and declarative acts had the lowest number with 22 cases.
Austin's Speech Act Theory Austin, who was one of the pioneers of ordinary language philosophy, in his book How to Do Things with Words, by adopting a pragmatic approach to language, declared that first, declarative sentences are not the only primary and meaningful sentences of language, and second, it is not possible to determine the truth or falsity value of all sentences; because the speaker's goal in uttering performative sentences is to describe an action itself, not to describe a situation or state.
This section of the Ziyaratnameh of Imam Reza (AS) contains a total of 31 speech acts, where the most used speech acts are directive speech acts with 13 cases, and the least are declarative, assertive, and emotive speech acts with 9, 6, and 3 cases respectively.
The seventh and final section of the Ziyaratnameh, which is known as His special Salawat, contains only one speech act of the directive type, in which the pilgrim requests the offering of greetings and blessings upon Imam Reza (AS).
