التَّضْمِينُ
Incorporating a portion of another poet's verse into one's own poem.

Tadmeen involves another poet's writing, rather than wording taken from scripture or hadith. When the incorporated words are not well known, the source treats an indication of their origin as important so that listeners do not mistake them for the new poet's own invention.

Successful incorporation must also serve the meaning and structure of the new poem; insertion alone is not a sufficient rhetorical achievement.
