Due to the strategic position of the geography, the history of ancient Greek sages and philosophers should be a part of such understanding and should be revered with great respect. The narrative of classical sources, including the ungenerous character, which is the topic of our research through the names Diyojens, Aristotle, Socrates, Enusirvan, should be the result of the success of the Arab humor to adapt the humorous products produced by foreign cultures to its own structure. The inclusion of this character in the Jahiliyya poems and the frequent mention of Arab generosity stems from the fact that pintism, more than nationalism, cannot be attributed to Arab society. Besides, the abundant usage of the sources of the miserly typology, which contain plenty of expressions, are proof that this humorous character is used as a material to fuel tribal support. The mention of this subject among the important themes of classical Arabic literature stems from the strength of its political and social reflections, rather than mentioning the immorality of typology. Thus, when it is thought that the people who are described as ungenerous are mostly powerful in the meaning of economical and political power, it becomes clear that the writers who use the ungenerous character in their works do not have a mere concern of humor, but they also seek a political and social criticism. In addition, writers have taken part in politics from time to time and they had the opportunity to evaluate the issue in the media.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArabic Language And RhetoricHumorPenny PincherArticle393321354WOS:00050403940001210.28949/bilimname.637391
