"Rouh-Al-Arvah Fi Sharhe Asmae-Al-Maleko-Al-Fattah" is the oldest independent Persian oeuvre about describing the names of Allah which is writing by Shahaboddin Abolghasem Ahmadebne Abi Mozaffar Mansour Sam'ani. since Tallying has been one the important methods of authors for writing of theosophy books, Sam'ani also has used this method for interpreting the sacred names in Rouh-Al-Arvah. In this research, tales of mentioned book has been studied and since one practical methods of studding stories is structuring analysis of them, and Vladimir Propp, Russian researcher, is one of the first persons who has considered this kind of folktale analysis; Rouh-Al-Arvah tales have been studied in basis of the Morphology theory of Propp. By studding 100 stories of Russian fairies, he showed that the stories of fairies, unlike the seeming differences, have some kind of similarities in terms of different types of their characters and operations. He also found that the number of these operations are limited and have similar sequence. In this research by studding the ten theosophy tales of Rouh-Al-Arvah in basis of Propp Morphology model, capability of adaptation for this model studied about tales of this book and the result indicates that the structure of theosophy tales do not completely correspond with the Propp model; but by elimination of some functions like absence, pursuit, release, identify, disgrace, wedding And by adding the function of assistance will help and failure of hero to the Propp model, the theosophy tales of this book could be studied in basis of Propp Morphology theory and also extend it to other theosophy tales.
