Pages

  81-96

Abstract

 1. Introduction: The story of Rostam and Sohrab, among the tales of the Shahnameh Ferdowsi, has a great place. Although the origins and roots of the story of Rostam and Sohrab of Shahnameh are still unknown to us, But there are many similar examples in the literature of the world comparable to that of comparative. In the literature of the Iranian tribes, there are similar stories to the story of Rostam and Sohrab. This story is deformed in the Balochi literary poetry system called "Muhammad Hanifa". In the epic "Mohammed Hanifa", the story of an unwanted battle between a father and a son who do not know each other has occurred. Other adventures are similar to those of Rostam and Sohrab in this story has occurred. At the end of the story, the son is failing. The main difference between this story and Rostam and Sohrab is the happy ending, Because in this case, neither the son was killed nor the father. Based on some of the evidence in the story of Mohammad Hanifah, we can surely say that the origin of this narrative is the story of Rostam and Sohrab. This story, with its current form, Remains the prevalence of religious literature. 2. Methodology: Considering that Baluchi literature is largely influenced by the Persian literature, we have tried in this research, By using library resources and analytical description of these tow stories, find The key points and signs in the story of Rostam and Sohrab of Ferdowsi's Shahnam were shared by Mohammad Hanifa's story in Balochi literature and by revealing the signs that bind these two stories, we want to show the background of the emegence of the Mohammad Hanifa religious story in Balochi literature and with this way, we can show the effects of the influences of masterpieces of Persian literature on Balochi literature. 3. Discussion: Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is one of the most famous epic books in the world. The battle of Rostam and Sohrab in Shahnameh is one of the most famous stories of this epic book, which even some critics have considered it to be the most important story of this book. In the Middle East, Shahnameh has been the source of inspiration for many epic tales. The main core of the story of Rostam and Sohrab is the father and son’ s battle, which has many similar examples in the world literature. Rostam, the famous epic hero of Iran, went to Turan to hunt. It happened that his horse was lost. Rostam went to Samangan to find his horse and became a guest of the king of Samangan. On the same night, the daughter of the king of Samangan asked Rostam to marry. And he said: I want you to have a son. On the same night, Rostam demanded that princess's father officially allow him to marry his daughter, and that same night he married the princess. Tomorrow that night, Rostam farewell to his wife, Tahmineh, and returned to Iran. Before his farewell, Rostam gave a reminder to his wife and said: If a boy was born, close this sign to his arm and if a girl was born, close it to her hair. After nine months, a boy was born from that woman that named Sohrab. That boy, in the same childhood, was powerful as his father, and nobody could fight him. Sohrab does not know who his father is. One day, Sohrab asked his father's name from his mother in dismay. The mom said to his: do not be upset! Your father is the world's greatest brave man, he is Rostam. Sohrab was happy and decided to attack Iran with an army and make his father king. The news came to the king of Turan. This news came to Afrasiab the king of Turan. He was the enemy of Rostam and Iran, and was pleased with this event. Afrasiab sent troops and gifts to help Sohrab to fight Iranians. He said to his officers: Do not let Sohrab and his father know each other. Because if any of them are killed by another, it is in our favor and one of our enemies has been killed. Sohrab attacked Iran with his armor, and after the adventures, Rostam came to the battlefield to confront the enemy. Rostam and Sohrab met each other. They have fought each other without knowing each other. In these battles, the boy was defeated from his father and was killed by his hand. This is the culmination of the tragedy of this story. Accordingly, some critics of literature have analyzed this story and similar stories with Freud's ideas based on the Oedipus’ s Complex. The Baluchi story of Mohammad Hanifah has a similar narrative with Rostam and Sohrab of Ferdowsi’ s Shahnameh. In this story it says: One day, the Prophet (pbuh) sat with his friends. Someone knew that in the far land, there is a woman named Hanifa who is the king of the disbelievers. The Prophet urged his friends to volunteer one person to conquer the country. Ali (AS), the most famous brave man among the Muslims, volunteered for that country to fight. Ali (AS) went there and prepared for the fight. Hanifa had bet that if anyone could defeat him, he would marry him. Ali (AS) defeated him and married him. After a while Ali (AS) was asked to return to Medina. When he said goodbye to his wife, he told his wife: If a boy was born, put his name Mohammad. Ali (AS) presented gifts to his wife when he said goodbye to her and gave her a sign for her son. After a while, Hanifa gave birth to a son and named him Mohammed. That boy, in the same childhood, was powerful as his father, and nobody could fight him. Muhammad did not know who his father is. One day, Sohrab asked his father's name from his mother in dismay. The mom said to his: do not be upset! Your father is the world's greatest brave man, he is Ali. You are the son of the bravest man of the world Ali. Mohammad was happy and decided to go to Medina. After some events, Muhammad and his father met with each other. They fought together without knowing each other. After a while, the boy lost his father and his father wanted to kill his opponent. The boy threatened his opponent by naming his father. After hearing these words, Ali (as) asked for the sign from Muhammad and recognized him by seeing the signs. In this war, one of these two people was not killed and the story ended well. 4. Conclusion: There may be a story other than Rostam and Sohrab among the Baluchis and other peoples living on the eastern plateau of Iran, which was also the basis of the work of the narrate of Shahnameh, But we did not find the source of such a narrate, As well as references to Rostam in the Balochi Mohammad Hanafah's story, As well as structural followings and elements of the story of Rostam and Sohrab Shahnameh in the Baluchi story, Certainly, we can see Rostam and Sohrab as the pattern of Wright Mohammad Hanafah's story. Considering that the exact source of Ferdowsi's narration in the story of Rostam and Sohrab is not clear, it is also possible to suggest that perhaps the story of Mohammad Hanifah in Baluchi literature is a revived narrative of the core of the ancient story that in Persian literature as the story of Rostam and Sohrab Has come to us. This story is based on the specific geographical and historical conditions of Baloch life. It can be considered as a kind of reconstruction of ancient Iranian narratives in a new style that is suitable for the Baluchi Muslim era and their particular Muslim type. In any case, the references contained in the story of Mohammad Hanafah suggest the impact of this story on Rostam and Sohrab Shahnameh or its re-creation. The story of Mohammad Hanafah did not include mythological patterns from Rostam and Sohrab of Shahnameh, but in parts we also can see the influence of the story of Solomon and Belgias.
