Abstract

In modern studies, al-Hajjaj enters into many fields of knowledge, including linguistics, philosophy, sociology and psychology. Therefore, al-Hajjaj’s definitions have varied according to the field he defines, but all of these fields are unanimously agreed that al-Hajjaj aims to convince the recipient of something, through a set of tools.
The scholars of Arabic - in the past - detailed the saying about the pilgrims, but they did not reach an integrated theory about it. The talk about the pilgrims - according to the ancients - came in the folds of the issues at hand, such as the argument of the Noble Qur’an, the protest of the polytheists and the response to them, and how the prophets presented their arguments and persuaded their people with them. In its basis - on the authority of men as a prerequisite for accepting taking from them or leaving them, and grammarians and rhetoricians are also added to these; Through their compositions and their divisions, it is clear the extent of their awareness of the pilgrims and their importance.
Likewise, poetry did not go outside the circle of pilgrims; The poet seeks to communicate his idea to the recipient. If he is skilled in using his arguments, he turns from building the argument to the eloquence of the argument; And that is by building his poem on the evidence and proofs, and then brings the recipient to a degree of acceptance and persuasion.
