Depicting Wisdom in Hadiqhe sana'ee and Masnavi Mulavi

One of the words that has a significant frequency in two important mystical works, Hadith of Sanai and spiritual Masnavi, is the word intellect. In fact, Sanai and Rumi have tried to explain and describe this mystical, philosophical and religious term with their poetic and artistic language as clearly and better as possible. This research has tried to compare and analyze the way of depicting the types of intellect in the spiritual Sanai and Masnavi. The main question of the present study is what is the difference between artistic images about different types of intellect and what are the common or different features in each work? In this regard, poetic images about different types of intellect from a rhetorical perspective have been studied and evaluated in these two works.

The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the method of information analysis is documentary (library).

The imagery of the types of intellect is often similar in terms of the frequency of use of virtual images and rhetorical arrays, including similes and metaphors; However, due to his scientific, cultural and social status, Rumi has used less poetic images than Sanai in Hadith when speaking about reason in Masnavi.

Both poets have used the most imagery about "total intellect", faith intellect and partial intellect are also in the next ranks; Because in his view, the mystic can connect his partial intellect to the general intellect by using the faith intellect during the stages of mystical cirrhosis. Also, in both works, the volume of positive and praiseworthy images about reason is more than negative and reprehensible images
