One of the most important components for the functional analysis of texts is the identification of Politeness theory indicators, the purpose of which is to discover the manners of politeness and speech and their role in reflecting implicit concepts. Since implicit concepts appear in the use of language, their understanding is formed in the recognition of two external and internal factors. The leading research with a descriptive-analytical method and with a pragmatic approach, studied thirty-one utterance of Nahj al-Balagheh in the category of forgiveness, miserliness and patience based on the classification of the book "Thematic Dictionary of Nahj al-Balagheh" and the manners of Politeness theory in this part He has criticized and analyzed the statements. By examining the strategies of Politeness theory in the mentioned topics, the conclusion was finally reached that Imam (A.S.) while observing the mechanisms of politeness, informs the audience and assures him to accept his words after weighing, evaluating, thinking, deliberating and reasoning. In this regard, he uses strategies such as creating passion, referring to the power of human will, making the mind flexible, softening the speech, aligning one's goal with the speaker's goal, increasing the freedom of action, etc. Additional meanings such as warning and reminding, warning, informing, stopping , persuading, honoring the audience's dignity and such things, it has inspired the audience to appeal about an issue without harming the personality of the audience in the slightest
