Abstract

"Islamic rhetoric", in its evolution, has indebted to the efforts of the great scholars from second century. As the Grammar Science built on the words of Quran, foundations of "Islamic rhetoric" also based on that dear book. Explaining the miracle of the Quran is the most important object of "Islamic rhetoric" and the destination of authors of the rhetorical books.
In this regard, the book "Al-sanatein" of Abuhelal al-Hasan ibn Abdullah, has a special place and importance. According to Abuhelal said, this book was written to understand the rhetorical miracle of the Quran, and also a compensation for the shortcomings of the book "Bayan and Al-tabyin" of Jahiz. To be clear, the book describes about rhetoric and manner of speech and eloquence, amidst the books, are so scattered and finding one of them needs a long time to search.
The result of abuhelal’s effort, was helpful and constant, and today by using his book, we can easily be accustomed to the rhetorical miracle of the Quran. So in this paper we discuss about the rhetorical of Quran’s verses according to the book "Al-sanatein" of Abuhelal.
