Abstract

Metaphor is the pinnacle of graphic art, the essence of the wonderful image, the original element of the miraculous, and the first means by which poets and people of refined taste soar to heavens of creativity beyond which there is splendor and beauty. Through metaphor, the intelligible is transformed and embodied in the tangible, inanimate objects are personified, and the signs of life flow through it as if they were entities of the soul and feelings. Feelings and beating hearts, love, life, and emotion, therefore occupy a major role in the structure of verbal compositions, and are considered a major factor in motivation and induction, a source of synonymy and multiplicity of meanings, and an outlet for intense emotions and emotional feelings. It is a way to fill in the blanks in speech. It arouses the listeners emotions and affects him psychologically, rather than the truth. This research aims to explain the rhetorical characteristics of the noble Prophets hadith, which reached the pinnacle of human statement, shedding light on the hadiths of hope and fear, demonstrating their eloquence and the personification and embodiment they contain, revealing the aspects of its influence and the locations of goodness.
