Abstract: (265 Views)
Arab culture and history have always been the focus of Muslims everywhere after the arising of Islam, and Muslims have become familiar with Arab culture and history by learning Islamic sciences. One of the historical aspects of the Arabs has been the erosive tribal wars such as the war of "Basous" and "Dahes and Ghabra", which were mostly a reaction to their hard life and desert living. "Rand and Lashar" is also one of the popular epics of Balochistan, which has undeniable similarities to the Basous war during the Jahili period. This research, with a comparative historical approach and content analysis method, expresses the historical similarities of these two epics and wars. The hypothesis of the research is based on the principle that Rend and Lashar's saga is in some cases influenced by the Besous war between the two tribes of Bakr and Taghlib in the Jahili, and the similar climate and social structure and moral characteristics have paved the way for this influence. The result of the research, proving this hypothesis, shows that the Basous war and Rend and Lashar's saga were ignited by killing the camels of "Basous" and "Gohar" and these two women were the central characters in these wars. The other side of this impact is the causes of these wars, in which revenge and supporting the guest are the main motivations of both wars.
Keywords: Rend and Lashar epic, Basous war, comparative literature, Baloch popular literature, Jahili literature.
