Abstract

 Narration (Naqqali) is one of the oldest jobs, which is common in Iran. Some of the narrators (Naqqals) were engaged in Kings Court, known as the “Samar Khan”, “Qesse Khan” and ”Naqqal”. “Naqalbashi” was a position title in the court of Qajar. Some of the Narrators (Naqqals) were “Naqibalmamalek”. One of the most famous Naqibalmamaleks was the narrator of Amir Arsalan. Years after the publication of Amirarsalan's introduction by Mohammad-Jafar Mahjoub, Mohamed-Ali Nqibalmamalk was known as the narrator of the story. In recent years, a number of researchers in the field of folk literature know Mirza Ahmad as the narrator of Amir Arsalan. This article primarily explains Mirza Ahmad’s biography and then, according to one of the most important resources in Qajarid period, proposes that Mohammad Ali Naqibalmamalek was the narrator of Naseraldinshah’s court as well as Mirza Ahmad, and therefore, jodgement on which one was the true narrator of Amir Arsalan is too difficult.
