Each author aims to convey his/her ideas and thoughts to the reader in a powerful, rich and impressive content in terms of language and expression. For this purpose, it is one of the ways to enrich the meaning of the narratives by supporting them with different texts. In Arabic literature, the Qur'anic verses, hadith texts and poems are among the primary sources that the author makes use of to make his/her text stronger. This method, called the art of citation and compensation, still remains one of the most important arts for contemporary writers that makes narrative powerful and effective. The novels of Palestinian-born Ṣubḥî Faḥmâwî, one of the contemporary Jordanian novelists, are quite rich in quotations from different texts. In the narrative of the plot of the novels being talked about, quotations from verses and hadiths occupy an important place. These quotations are the main element of text construction, rather than being a link material between events. Faḥmāwī uses verses and hadiths, without paying much attention to whether hadiths are authentic, in the narrative of the novel for different purposes. Some of these purposes are to emphasize and support the thought of the hero, to prove an idea with a religious text, to convey messages to the reader in an implicit way, and to express a lot of meaning in few words. The aim of this article is to identify the verses and hadiths used as a means of expression in Faḥmâwî's novels and to reveal their contribution to different aspects of the narrative. The work will be limited to Fahmâwî's novels ‘Azbe, alḪubb fī zemeni'l-‘avleme, Ḳıṣṣatu ‘işki Ken‘āniyye, Ḥurmetān and maḥrem, ‘Alā Bābi'l-Hevā, Sirvālu Belḳîs, al-Ermeletus-sevdā, Ṣadîḳatî al-Yehudiyye.
