The study aims at showing the phenomenon of begging in Andalusian literature, as a general phenomenon, it is too broad to be confined to a certain poet or to one age only. The Andalusian poets were not heresies in this phenomenon, but were preceded by a strong movement whose roots were found in the Levant, specifically in the fourth century AH. This phenomenon revealed the material and social foundations of the poor and the disadvantaged class in Andalusian society, and reshaped it. This has led us to use a psychological approach in which we monitor the objectives of Andalusian beggar poets, their methods of begging and their influential methods that they went - repeatedly - more than beggars themselves.
