Undoubetdly, in the rhetoric, a close relation exists between criticism and
rhetoric. In other words, the rhetoric originated originally from the criticism
in the form of simple critical rules, and then, these rules have developed to
become a science with its standards and rules. Based on this overlap between
criticism and rhetoric, this study explores one of the greatest and most
important book in its history titled "The Comparison between Taeyeens" by
Amadi (370 AH). This latter is a critical book whose writer attempted to
compare between two great poets due to the wide dispute and argument of
the critics towards these poets. One group supports one poet, whereas the
other group advocates the other poet. Hence, Al-Amadi tried to be fair
adopting a neutral position in order to show the characteristics of each poet
and discuss the poetry of each poet objectively. This study is based on
examining the rhetorical principles which were adopted by the classifier as
criteria to follow in stating his judgement. However, due to the large area of
these rhetorical principles and their wide variety, this study focused only on
two aspects of the rhetoric, namely simile and metaphor. Consequently,
AlAmedi approach depended on these aspects when analyzing the poetry of both AlAmedi and AlBuhturi as well as the criteria he adopted in judging on
the two poets in either refuting or accepting in order to identify who is better
than the .other It seems clear that AlAmedi assesses the simile and metaphor
based on objective regulations that require a kind of suitability between the
two sides of the simile or the metaphor and follows the way of the old critics
in choosing the appropriate diction and structures as well as the expressive
structures avoiding .exaggeration
