Abstract

   If we take a cursory look at the Al Eqd Al Farid written by Ibn Abde Rabbeh, it appears like a volumnous encyclopedia which encapsulates the magnificent Islamic culture. But, what is more wonderful in this work is the display of the roles by Iranians in its different parts.   It is not surprising if we face this situation in Arabic literatur, because since a long time ago the Arabs and Iranians have had mutual relations. But after pondering over Ibn Abde Rabbeh’s work we find that the geographical, political, cultural and historical distances between Iran and Andalusia have not prevented the Iranian history and culture, in general, and Sassanian culture in particular fromfeaturinym.   this research is an effort reveal the Iranian portrayal "Al - Eqd al- Farid",so that the rationbetween parsian and andalusian literature is examined and scrutinized.
