Abstract
One Persian poetic theme, having close historical connection with praising poetry, is supplicating and meeting needs that poets have formed it as a literary figure and have deeply thought on expressing it. Rhetorical analyzers, historically elaborating it and setting tips for its usage, have tried to help poets on  this figure; this explains other titles, besides beauty of demand, such as request politeness, demand acquittance among rhetorical scholars. On one side, rhetorical scholars beside beauty of demand, have replaced it with another figure called beauty of apology and on other side, have separated them by defining features for them.  This paper, beside studying and analyzing the definitions of beauty of demand and beauty of apology in rhetorical works based on the samples used in poetic works, shows that beauty of apology is not a separated literary figure from beauty of demand and dividing them for their demand and request is not academically correct.
