Intertextuality is one of the apparent artistic techniques that give the poem strength and influence. Its concept and theory were formulated in the Western critical arena in the second half of the last century, to raise the importance of realizing intertextuality in ancient times by poets.  Intertextuality means the overlap and mixing between a previous text that the poet heard or read and a poetic text he wanted to compose.

  The ancient Arab poets dealt with intertextuality, and it was recognized by the ancient Arab poet, and was praised by the recipients, especially if the previous text was a Quranic text or a hadith about the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, or an evocation of influential religious or historical figures, the promise of its birth with the definition of its concept in the modern era by Western critics, the aim was to explore the existence and importance  The phenomenon of intertextuality in ancient Arabic poetry in the late Islamic period, and making sure that the idea was revolving in the mind of the poet and the recipient, although it was not defined in a specific framework, and the choice of one of the poets of the Abbasid era (Shams al-Din al-Kufi) who witnessed the fall of Baghdad by army.
