البنية الحكائية في قصة "مالك بن دينار" (التوابين)‎

Abstract EN

This study aims from the story of Malik bin Dinar to reconsider the Arab narrative traditions with reference to the technical methods in Arabic literary writing during the fourth and fifth centuries AH by following the inductive descriptive approach, by describing the narrative phenomena in the story and making observations that serve as steady laws in narrative writing in these historical stage.

The study reached several results, the most important of which is that the Arab narrative heritage is based on the oral narrative, which was the basis for the circulation of news and events.

Therefore, the strength of the story depends on the strength of its support, as it was subject to the conditions of the news, of truth and lies, and the imaginary side hides.

The author of the narrative story presents the news in an interesting way of presentation, knot, solution and mostly sad or happy ending, told by attractive graphic or metaphorical linguistic images and explained by easy familiar sentences, everything is based on language to compose a story with moral content, and the study recommended the need to shed light on this rich heritage It must be studied and taken care of, because it requires more than one reading, more than one research, and more than one approach because of the value, intellectual and artistic dimensions it contains, in the horizon of establishing a critical theory appropriate to the Arabic prose text, especially the narrative text, because the intellectual, critical and Arab effort bet on poetry more than criticism.
