The art of narration or telling a story in the literature of Yemen ^s part of this general art in the positions of the other Arabic literate Which witnessed their artistic birth not its historic birth since re beginning of the second decade of the twentieth century.

From the beginning of the Revival age (restoration age), they were their serious attempts which were not different from the other Arabic literature who absorbed in writing this new literary genre (at that timei wen if their attempts were simple (plain) as 'it had shown in Iraq b, Mahmood Ahmed Ai Sayd's works in 1 921.
