Abstract

This research is concerned with a study of the problem of "the overlap of poetic identity" in the Arab heritage sources, by achieving the percentage of two poems whose narratives differed in their support between two poets, each of whom is known as "Abu Qais", namely: Abu Qais Al -Khazraji and Abu Qais bin Al -Aslet.
Search problem: This phenomenon is one of the problematic issues in the Arab literary heritage, where genealogy and nicknames overlap and oral and written novels intersect, which leads to a disturbance in the proportion of some poetic texts, and raises questions about the reliability of transportation and the effect of this on reading poetry and understanding its cultural and historical context.
Search goal:The research aims to investigate the origin of this overlap in the percentage of the two poems, and analyze the factors that led to its occurrence, while seeking to like the proportion of each of them to its right saying - as allowed by the evidence.Research curriculum: This research depends on the comparative critical, critical approach, which combines the tools of textual investigation in heritage and critical analysis based on the examination of the internal and external contexts of poetic texts. This curriculum has been employed with the aim of tracking the proportions of the two different poems in their support, and analyzing the nature of the overlap between the identity of the two poets concerned.
The curriculum followed is distributed to two axes:The textual investigation of heritage sources:The accounts related to the two poems were collected from the Prophet’s biography of Ibn Hisham, and the Prophet’s biography of Ibn Katheer, with the use of the Prophet’s biography of Ibn Ishaq to verify that the two poems are received in the three sources،Comparison between evidence and novels:
The comparison was adopted between the various heritage novels that attribute the two poems, and link them to the temporal, social and cultural contexts of both Abi Qais Al -Khazraji and Abi Qais bin Al -Aslet, to test the consistency of the content of the two poems with the personality of each poet and his circumstances.
This curriculum, with its documentary and analytical tools, provides the possibility of weighting the closest percentage of the right, while preserving the problematic character that distinguishes many issues of ratio in ancient Arabic poetry, without claiming conclusive decisiveness in places where the external and internal evidence weakens.Search results: The research has reached several results, including that the overlap of poetic identity in the case of the two studied poems is due to several factors, most notably: the similarity in the nickname, the convergence of the time class, and the multiplicity of narrations in literature books without control or scrutiny, as well as the absence of an accurate standard for some of the classified people in documenting the hair attributed.
