Although the description of women as “defect of faith, intellect and inheritance” in one of the sermons of The Nahj al-Balagha has long attracted the attention of commentators and narrators, however, in the current era, this sermon has sometimes been criticized for its influence on emerging modern-discourses on women’s rights, especially from the intellectual and dissident currencies. The present study intends to analyze the notion of “defect of intellect” in this sermon, based on the analysis of the narrative and historical heritage of the two sects, relying on the analysis of the discourse atmosphere of issuing of this sermon, in order to obtain another reading of this part of context. Studies show that the new view of the discrediting of this sermon has been due to newly emerging discourses, a lack of careful reading of the sermon, and a lack of attention to its discursive space. While considering the narrations of Kulayni, Ibn Rustam, and Ibn Jawzi, as well as the fame of sermons and passages consistent with the aforementioned sermon, the probability of its issuance increases.In addition, considering the criticisms made against the aforementioned views, the discursive atmosphere of the sermon after the Battle of Jamal, and the passages consistent with the sermon in other sermons, Imam Ali in this sermon is in a situation to condemn the people who obeyed Aisha in the war with Imam Ali, and since the main factor of this war was Aisha, in a new way, Imam Ali sought to awaken the latent conscience of those warriors and make them aware of his great mistake by adapting the defecting in the description of women based on subtle literary metaphors in re-reading some facts or based on customary attitude. Just as Aisha is implicitly condemned.
