DOI: https://doi.org/This study examines the borrowing from the Prophetic Hadith in the poetry of blind poets in al-Andalus, highlighting the unique connection between a sacred text, the Hadith, and a high literary form, as evidenced in the works of these poets. The research demonstrates that these poets have exceptional recall, great religious knowledge, and a vast literary culture despite their blindness, therefore using Hadith passages with remarkable creative proficiency. The study highlights that these instances of borrowing were not mere rhetorical embellishments but expressions serving diverse functions—such as praise, appeals for assistance, service, and the recounting of personal experiences of patience, asceticism, and suffering—tailored to address the challenges encountered by the community. It also shows a lot of different ways to quote, from direct quotes to hidden references, which shows a sophisticated sense of humor. In summary, this research concludes that this incident exemplifies the influence of Quranic Hadith on Andalusian literature with origins in religious sources, while also demonstrating the significant role of Prophetic Hadith in the consciousness and sentiments of Andalusian society.
