Abstract

Abda al-Tabib, a veteran poet who lived most of his life in pre-Islamic times and embraced Islam before his people embraced Tamim, a nine-year hijra in the greatest sense, and his conversion to Islam was good, and he witnessed Babylon a thirteen year of emigration, and he participated with Nu'man bin Muqrin in the Persian war in Al-Mada'in in the year 15 - 1- H. Al-Muthanna bin Haritha witnessed the fighting of Hormuz, and he was among those whom Saad bin Abi Waqqas delegated to instill fervor and enthusiasm in the hearts of Muslims, saying: (And you are Arab poets and those with their opinion, and we found them and their masters, so they walked among the people, so they mentioned them and incited them to fight). After the conquest of Al-Mada'in, Saad bin Abi Waqqas traveled from Al-Mada'in to Askar in Kufa in the year seventeen, and between the fall of Al-Mada'in and the descent of Kufa for a year and two months) and it seems that the same poet did not take the place in Kufa, so he traveled to his country after his analysis refused to leave with him to the desert and chose to stay in Kufa, so he mentioned it In the introduction to Amina). The poet witnessed the war of conquests for a period of no less than three years at the least and he fought it himself. As he organizes poetry about the conquests, he organizes a personal experience that he lived and acted upon and witnessed its victories and the armies, weapons, raids, battles and plans threatening and threatening all of this was the subject of his lamian poem, which is almost from The longest poems that were said in Fattuh Sadr al-Islam and it is the longest poem in his poetry in which his experience was clearly visible at times and disappeared behind the verses at another time. Islam is insignificant, represented in three verses, of which the connection is closely related between Islam and the poem. And experience predicts the close interdependence between religion and poetry, an interdependence concentrated in the dependence of each of them heavily on the soul, inspiration and intuitive reception. The apparent meaning of the Lami poem is composed of six parts that revolve around the Islamic conquest composed of a tight thematic unit, and the parts are: The first is the ghazal introduction, which consists of verses 1-7 The second: the description of the camel, consisting of verses with numbers - The third: The description of the bull beast, the dog, and the hunter, consisting of the verses 29-44 Fourth: The armys journey to jihad and the leadership of the poet for his people, and it consists of verses 45-56 Fifth: The fishing trip and it consists of verses with numbers 57-65 Sixth: Description of the majlis al-khmer, consisting of verses 66-81
