The research method is descriptive-analytic and the study population consisted of texts and included the traditions of the prophet (PBUH) narrated in the book of Nahj al-Fasahah and unified content analysis of the narrations. The accountability indicators in the prophet’s narrations comprised 1316 narrative contexts with cognitive and behavioral dimensions which have been proposed regarding the relationship between God and His messengers, oneself, family, society, and nature. The most frquent compoent is mankind’s accounability towards God with 462 narrations indicating the high place of being resposibe before God which is the origion for other responsibilities.
