Explanation of the Diwan of Al-Mutanabbi

The book / Explanation of the Diwan of Al-Mutanabbi is a massive encyclopedic work aimed at facilitating the understanding of Al-Mutanabbi's deep and complex poetry, reviewing the poet's biography from his birth in Kufa in the year 300 AH, his claim of prophethood in the Badia of Samawah, his repentance, and then his famous naming as Al-Mutanabbi, his praise for major princes such as Saff al-Dawla al-Hamdani, Kafur al-Ikhshidi, and ‘Azz al-Dawla al-Buyidi, then his tragic murder at the hands of Fatik al-Asadi in the year 354 AH. This explanation criticizes previous commentaries such as Al-Ukbari, Al-Wahidi, and the Yaziijis for their lack of clear vocabulary interpretation and useful grammatical analysis, as well as their numerous misprints and distortions, and offers a more accurate alternative in explanation and interpretation, with tracking of poetic thefts, to be a work aligned with the spirit of the age and to facilitate memorization and recitation of the diwan.
