Abstract

Arabic prose in the Abbasid era was distinguished by its various types and many styles. Maqamat flourished in this era, and it is considered one of the most important arts of Arabic literature, which reveals the ingenuity of the writer and his skill in the literary industry and the use of creative colors that are decorated with sajja decorations. The narrative focuses on the dialogue between the two people: the narrator and the hero. It seems that the first person to invent the art of Maqamat was Badi’ al-Zaman al-Hamdhani, and then he followed Hariri’s example and composed and classified Maqamat to oppose him so that eight of his Maqamat were named after the Maqamat al-Hamdhani. To comprehend and master these literary texts, the recipient must engage in scientific studies of the elements of the language and its literary trends. So, semiotics is one of the most important and prominent linguistic trends that probes into the depths of texts and penetrates into their depths to decode the semiotic connotations in such a way that to clear the veil you mean the horizontal and vertical levels with their various branches from the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, and rhetorical levels. So, after comparing (Kufi and Shirazi) as models of Al-Hamdhani and Al-Hariri in the field of semiotic trends, we arrived at the following results that confirm that Al-Hariri did not only challenge Al-Hamdhani by repeating the names of the shrines, but rather he defeated him It exists on the phonetic and lexical levels, as well as on the vertical level that represents Thematic and plot balance and harmony, but it is occasional in the field of the grammatical and rhetorical level, such that it has brought rhetorical and grammatical arts contrary to what Al-Hamdhani brought in Kufi and Shirazi.
