Ancient Arabic narration between recording and creativity

While monitoring the narrative movement in the Arab-Islamic civilization, two  important stages mark the end of the fourth  Hijri century. First: the stage of recording, which tended to news narrative stories and varied terminology, so it gathered news, autobiographies, narrations, virtues and vices, and the stories of proverbs, stories of the Quran. Moreover, the news advanced on the poetry in the priority of recording, and also advanced in the quantity of authoring. It may be that recording is one of the factors of the decline in the status of poetry, despite that this decline began with the end of ignorance era. We conclude from this that the narratives of news stories had a higher status than the other types of narrative,  and it exceeded poetry. The second stage: the stage of creativity, in which scholars believe that it is delayed to the fourth  Hijri century, but the research proves precisely that this stage began from the late second Hijri century. Perhaps the first thing that has emerged from the kinds of creative narrative is fairy tales on the tongues of animals, the most prominent writers appeared are those who wrote these stories for the Khalifa and his entourage. Maqamat  was  also created though delayed until the end of the fourth century, but the beginning is dated  back to the early third century. The stories of the jinn, or tales by the tongues of the animal, and the tales of the history of the kings and history. This movement began at the end of the second  Hijri century. The tendency to avoid the truthful news and the correct fixed attribution to the strange and miraculous news became apparent until it became the desired upon the recipients. This was in the first half of the third  Hijri century. Recording  the rare and funny tales since the late second century emerged. Books were frequent, sometimes even exceeded the fine poetry, as well as authorship in the stories of singers, poets and stories of love. All this shows a great shift in the taste of the Arab recipients from the documentary narration to the narratives that are close to the strangely saturated superstition, with the emergence of the funny and exciting narration.
