        Abbasid era is one of the most precious ears among Islamic Literature ones. Taking no notice of the privileges of the aforementioned period, the critics have considered its abominations. Appraising this era’s literature with scrutiny, one would culminate that on the contrary, there were lots of famous literati who have endeavored in favor of promulgation of social and human values such as Abotamam, Abol Aala Al Maari, Motenabbi and the prosaic realizations in the following literati such as Jahez, Badi Al Zaman Al hamedani.The underlying incentive for which we have sufficed to enumerating celebrities is to mention that they are meritorious representatives for other literati.

        Translation is one of the main mediums of communication among  nations  of  the world.   Familiarity with culture and civilization of other nations requires knowledge of their language. Translation conveys concepts , sciences and cultural technology to other cultures and results in their growth and  flourishing.Historical  investigation shows that translation played a significant role in the transmission of foreign cultures to Arabic culture and helped it  grow in Abbasid era. In this era , Arabs made connections with civilized nations such as Iran , India and Greece and translated many of their scientific writings. Translated works attracted translators and scientists attention and they began to study, interpret, criticize , and correct these works. This in turn paved the way for Arabs scientific  revolution and soon they began to show initiatives and creativity and made great advances in different fields of science such as medicine , mathematics , astrology ,chemistry , physics , philosophy and so on.

        "Risalat Al-sahel wa Al-shahej" is one of the prominent works of Abbasid era in form and content to which authors and critics have paid  little  attention. Abul Ala Al-ma'arri wrote it about 1020- 1021 addressing Aboushoja'a Fatak, known as Azizoddoleh, ruler of Halab from Fatimi's caliphate in which through conversation made between a horse called Sahel and a mule called Shahej he discusses literary, historical, political and social matters and provides much information about lexical, syntactical, prosodic puzzles and issues related to political relations between ruler of Halab and the Fatimi's family in the one hand and he and Roman  emperor on the other hand and pictures people's condition following a crisis caused by political deals between Azizoddoleh (ruler of Halab) and Basil (Roman  emperor).The  Risalah investigated in this article to express role of power and technology in forming Abul Ala Al-ma'arri's discourse and language in the  light of critical discourse analysis . This research shows that Abul Ala's discourse can be divided into 4 groups: literary discourse including his vast information about poetry, syntax and prosody; political discourse that pictures political relation between ruler of Halab and emperor of Rome; social discourse in which people's horror due to Rome's attack has been provided and finally advertising discourse between Romans and Muslims and also this point that political and cultural power has played a  key role in forming Abul Ala's discourse and language.       Manuscript profile

        As it stands today, medical science did not grow and develop overnight. This science has been formed due to the efforts of millions of people throughout the history of mankind. Meanwhile, the fact is that one of the standard bearers of this sacred responsibility (medical sciences) are Muslims. Muslims, during the Abbasid era, have developed this science more than any other civilization. Therefore, in this article, an attempt has been made to highlight the fact that the Renaissance of Europe is partly indebted to the inventions and discoveries of Islamic medicine of the Abbasid period, and the ways of transferring this science from the East to the West are documentedIn the upcoming research, in order to explain and analyze the progress of medical knowledge in the Abbasid era and the ways of its transfer to the West, the "diffusion theory" is used as the theoretical framework of the work. Based on this, the influential origin in the field of medical knowledge of the Islamic world in the Abbasid era is taken into account, and the influential destination is the Western civilization, and the ways and channels of transmission are mentioned along with its obstacles. The findings of the research show that medical knowledge was one of the first sciences that the Islamic world learned based on the medical data of Iran, India and Greece, and then developed it in the best possible way and spread it to other societies.

        The introduction of the Dhimmis to the court of the Abbasid caliphs with titles such as writing, medicine, counseling, etc., paved the way for their entry into the field of economics and financial issues with the Abbasids. The study of the economic and financial role of the Dhimmis and their influence on the Abbasid caliphs is one of the topics that, has been less discussed in the events of the Abbasid era, which is the subject of this article.Although the conquered lands were quickly dominated by Muslim Arabs, lack of experience forced them to take advantage of the economic and financial policies of the Dhimmis in managing the expenses. Therefore, analyzing the management of financial and economic expenses of some Dhimmis, considering the strictness which was imposed by the Abbasids on Dhimmis in addition to receiving the jizyah, is one of the issues that the researcher faces. This article tries to thoroughly explain the economic and financial role of the Dhimmis in the court of the Abbasid caliphs and show how Dhimmis influenced on the economic and financial plans in the Abbasid era, and also show, although Dhimmis had influence in Abbasid court, Abbasid caliphs exploited the wealth and property of the Iranians, by confiscating their property for the stability and continuity of their sovereignty.

        Throughout history appeared great men and women who strove to depict human suffering and expectations.  As much as they resisted the worn out traditions of their society and rebelled against the oppressors, selfish opportunists attempted to put out the flame kindled by them and distort their image. One such example is Abu Nuwas, the great Iranian poet who lived in the Abassid era in the second century Hegira. His intelligence propelled him to present his avant-garde views in the form of wine poetry known as Khamriyyat because of which he was insulted and endured years of imprisonment. This article hopes to provide an inspective revision of his personal life and his scholarly literary character based on reliable historical references in order to unveil the shadows surrounding his life and to pave the way to a better understanding of his Khamriyyat, which is absolutely unique within the domain of Arabic Poetry.
