Holy Karim Quran is considered as one of the inspiring sources for Muslim poets and artists. One of the inspiring aspects of this holy book on their works is Quranic anecdotes and their themes. Shahname is one of the books which Abol qaseme Ferdosi has used Quran anecdotes for his stories in it. One of these anecdotes is the Feraydoon and Zihak which is produced by inspiring Moses and Pharaoh Story. In comparing these stories there are similarities along with differences. In this article author tries to comparatively review these two stories using anecdote approach in a descriptive-analytical method and extends this comparison to components and segments of both texts in anecdote and conceptual constructs to illustrate differences and similarities. Results of this study show that in spite of close similarity, regarding different purposes, the level of attention to anecdote elements is different. Keywords: anecdote elements, form, Feraydon and Zihak, Moses and Pharaoh.
