Abstract

Opposition is one of the literary techniques and is called poetry or prose that is created in imitation of the work of another poet or writer. In Arabic literature, this technique has appeared more in poetry and one of the characteristics of the opposition in poetry is the similarity of weight, facial expressions and the subject of the poems of the desired poets. Literature and poets in different periods of Arabic literature, from the pre-Islamic to the contemporary period, have paid attention to this technique. And the field of committed religious and especially Shiite literature is not devoid of such contradictions. g these poetic contradictions are the poems of Safi al-Din Hali in response to Ibn Mu'taz. Ibn Mu'taz considers the Abbasids to be more deserving of the caliphate than the children of Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH). On the other hand, Safi al-Din Hali, in the same weight, rhyme and subject, responded to Ibn Mu'taz by presenting Qur'anic, intellectual and narrative reasons and violated his claims. In this article, we intend to analyze the content of Safi-ud-Din Hali's opposition and explain the most important allusions and points, Quranic, narrative and historical of his poem.
