Masnavi is the main form of storytelling in the Persian poetic literature, and is often ignored by other forms of poetry such as Ghazal and Ruba'i. By studying poems like Sana'a, Attar, Rumi Ruba'i ... we find that about 10% of our Rubaiyat (Attar 302 and Rumi's 203 Rabbis-Tales) have been dedicated to storytelling. In this article, through descriptive-analytic method, we examined different types of stories in the narrative Ruba'i of these mystical poets. We conclude that although they contain natural, and so on verbal stories, the vast majority of narratives of these immortality are related to representing mystical experiences and intuitions. Due to the unity and passage of these experiences and the coherent and short-lived structure, the unity of form and content in the quatrains-tales is maximized, and one of the reasons for the attention of Sofia to the quatrains is the occasion of the form and the content of the intuitive narratives. According to their expressions, the narratives use the mystic lesson of the experiential and present on the scene more than the first person; However, a significant number of these stories are narrated in the second way, which is unique in the traditional Persian stories. In spite of the abbreviation of these narratives, we have a change in the angle of vision (even though we have) and even internal stories.

Keywords: Narrative Raba'i, Sanai, Attar, Rumi, Ohad al-Din Kermani
