Selections of Arab poets

One of the most famous collections of poetic selections, Ibn Al-Shujairi exclusively mentioned poems that have no trace in the anthologies of their authors, and the book is divided into three sections: 1 - Twelve poems by poets: Laqit ibn Ma'mar, Waqnib ibn Umm Sahib, Ashaa Bahlah, Hatim Al-Tai, Bashamah ibn Al-Ghadir, Al-Nimr ibn Tawalib, Ash-Shanfarī, Ka'b ibn Sa'd Al-Ghanuwi, Al-Mutalassim, and Tarafa. 2 - Twenty-five poems, seven of them by Zohair, six by Bishr ibn Abi Khazim, and twelve by Ubaid ibn Al-Abrus. 3 - News of Al-Hutayyah, including thirteen poems of Al-Hutayyah's poetry besides the short pieces. The book was first printed in Cairo in a stone-printed edition in 1306 AH, then in 1344 AH 1926 AD under the supervision of Mahmoud Hassan Al-Zanati, and it was republished by Ali Muhammad Al-Bajawi in Cairo in 1394 AH 1974 AD. There is also a handwritten copy in Ibn Al-Shujairi's script, showing that he was among the writers of the script attributed to him. See a sample of his handwriting in his biography in Al-Zarkali's "A'lam". Reference: Introduction to the publication by Ali Muhammad Al-Bajawi for the selections.
