Khaqani is a poet of Arrani style (Azerbaijani), and one of the most prominent features of this style is the use of various tools to make the discourse difficult. Having benefited from a reach cultural background besides a deep understanding of science and technology of his own era, Khaqani has created the magnificent images and has avoided any obscenity in his words. In other words, this diversity and variety in his poetic images may be due to the extent of Khaqani's information, research and his knowledge of historical interpretive books. One of the tools used by this poet to create his own images is allusion which can be considered a featured style of Khaqani due to its high frequency in his Divan. In his allusions, Khaqani occasionally refers to the indications which we cannot find their resources and references in the official and written literature; therefore we should search folk and oral narratives to find those references. In this research, we intend to look at the sources of some Shahnameh allusions of Khaqani which are based on oral and folk narratives and they are not mentioned in the official and written sources.
