Summoning format in the book Al-Fusus by Sa’id Al-Baghdadi Al-Andalusi

Abstract

The coercive circumstances that the writer goes through and the change of place and time make him take ways to overcome these circumstances, so his production is in two directions (the apparent production - the implicit production), so he resorts to summonings from the past heritage, whether this summoning is of religious, historical or political figures, so his summoning is according to two principles. (Forcible/compulsive summons) when he is under threat, whether it is a physical or material threat or (spontaneous/voluntary summons), then his summons will be of its own accord.

In terms of the historical summons that Saed sought to attract, he was initiated by name and the purpose of these summons was to reach closeness to the authority and gain gains.

There were references to two types of summons (religious and historical). In terms of religious summons, Sa’id played the string of the Caliph because his roots were Arab. So there are commonalities between him and the Caliph, which made it easier for him to win the heart of the Caliph.
