Abstract

The issue of plagiarism is considered one of the most important topics of criticism. Critics paid a lot of attention to it, but this attention was often unfair. Emotions and feelings entered into it and were used to lower the status of poets or for the critic to show their ability to find similar poems. This issue has been discussed in Arabic literature since the pre-Islamic era and has been one of the most important issues since the beginning of the 3 AH century. As a famous poet and theologian, Sharif al-Murtada (436-355) sought to show his status as a prominent critic. Sharif Al-Murtada, by following the common meanings which poets quote from each other, shows his strength in criticizing and identifying the poet's merits or faults. Sharif Al-Murtada dealt with the issue of plagiarism in a different way from previous critics, and considered plagiarism to be specific to innovative meanings and not to common meanings. He did not use the word stealing when talking about plagiarism. Sharif Al-Murtada denied plagiarism in wording and meaning in most cases. This study aims to investigate the case of plagiarism from the perspective of Sharif al-Murtada.
