Al-Risalah al-Baghdadiah, alternatively called Hikayat Abu al-Qasim al-Baghdadi, is adored in the Arab world as one of the most important examples of Arabic narrative heritage. As an author with firm footsteps in Arabic literature, the writer narrates the imaginary Abu al-Qasim story and describes him by paradoxical traits. To this end, he adopts the historical narration style enriched by ironical language and comic interjections. This narrative provides a real picture of the life of the Baghdad inhabitants. It depicts the reality of the life of different social groups ad reflects the values of Abbasid-era society as well as the practices and manners of the people living in the fourth century after Hejira. The writer has created an imaginary world as well as a great technique to help correct those values and to express his own ethical mission. To do so, he has used comedy, laughing, and jokes which prevails all parts of the narrative. The author's worldview regarding people's life and thinking style is exemplified in this style of narration. This narrative is recounted in the form of a story along with numerous instances of eloquent poetry and prose. In addition, its interchanges are made by only one main character. Nonetheless, it has two narrators: the main narrator is the author himself and narrates through the character of "Abu al-Mutahhar al-Azdi". Besides, the protagonist of the narrative is used as the secondary narrator. This latter one has been created by the first narrator to express his intended thoughts and opinions. One of the most important artistic techniques of the Risala that has made it outstanding is the duality of place and time: the duality of the open and closed place and the limited and unlimited time. The events of the narrative overlap. However, although at first they are expressed consecutively and orderly, they then become chaotic due to the drunkenness of the narrator, and it becomes a hard task to find a relationship between the narrated stories.
