Complexity is one of the conditions for eloquence, and Arab rhetoricians have identified conditions for eloquence, and what violates these conditions is complexity. What is meant by complexity is: composing speech in a way that is difficult to understand due to its poor arrangement, which is moral complexity. Al-Hadhrami (D. 975 A.H.), author of the book (Al-Adib Al-Adib on what is in the poetry of Abu Al-Tayyib from the good and the defective), and Al-Hadhrami wanted me to reveal this defect in which the poet (Al-Mutanabbi) put it, whether the complexity was due to poor arrangement or disputes in speech in the introduction and delay or by deletion without Necessity, has been investigated Al-Hadhramis Complexity in Al-Mutanabbis Poetry and His Statement, then the study attempted to investigate the complexity of other critics and rhetoricians, reinforcing the opinion of Al-Hadhrami, such as Ibn Tabataba, Ibn Rashiq Al-Qayrawani, Abdul-Qaher Al-Jurjani, Al-Qazwini and others.
