Insertion of Persian Poetry in Prose Texts (Relying on 8th-Century Prose Texts)

Inserting rhymes and poetry into Persian prose has a long history. Looking at the ancient prose texts, we can see that most of the writers after the birth of Persian poetry tended to this mixture; it is as if they were aware of the effect of poetry on the soul of the audience and the persuasion caused by it. Incentives based on literary and social-political goals have caused poetry to enter prose texts. By looking at the list of old and new rhetorical science books, it became clear that so far rhetoricians have not paid enough attention to the types of poetry insertion in prose texts, which is one of the aesthetic aspects. The only term that fits this technique better than other interpretations is "Esteshhad" (affidavit); a general term that includes verse, hadith, news, and poetry in the text. Other terms such as solution, adaptation, and guarantee have been proposed, which according to the existing definitions, are not exactly related to poetry. The appearance of poetry among prose text has types and rules that have not been discovered so far, and terms for these types have not been provided. The present article tried to examine the prose texts mixed with poetry in the 8th century as an example of research, because Persian poetry has reached the peak of its development in this century, and tried to explain the types of poetry insertion in prose and its purposes by citing examples of the texts and presenting its proposed definitions to solve the problem. The suggested term of this writing is the completely Persian and literary term «شعرآمیزی»  "She’r-Amizi".
