The clear benefits in the Nasiriyah lessons

The An-Nasir Dawood, the leader poet and prose writer, one of the famous members of the Ayyubid family who relied on sword and pen in their struggle against the tyrants and rebels, where the sources that translated for King An-Nasir Dawood bin Isa confirm that he was a prominent poet, a great writer, and a brilliant jurist, but — as it seems — he did not care to collect what he composed and wrote, and if he had done so, he would have mentioned something about his literary life, the extent of his poetry, and the amount of his prose, as well as the motives that drove him to compose and write. However, he compiled the poetry of King An-Nasir Dawood and the prose of his hobby King Al-Ahmad Hassan 1T 670 AH, and he was a scholar, jurist, and writer, intending with this work not to lose this heritage as days and years passed. Therefore, King Al-Ajmad Hassan began collecting what his father left behind, arranging it, and writing an extensive introduction in which he spoke about the origin of the Ayyubid family and the different opinions about it, and he dedicated a special chapter to his father’s life from his upbringing until his death, mentioning the hardships he endured during his reign over Damascus and the difficulties he faced. Not only did King Al-Ajmad Hassan write the introduction to the diwan, but he also composed two chapters, one for the genealogy of the Ayyubid family, and the second for his father’s virtues and noble morals, and he prefaced each message, sermon, or poem with an introduction explaining the motives and reasons for its writing or composition. However, the copy written by King Al-Ajmad Hassan has not been found, so the researcher Nadhim Rashid relied on two copies written during two close periods after the death of King Al-Ajmad Hassan. The researcher carefully studied both copies of the diwan, examined them thoroughly, and identified their details, and he verified the original as it is without addition, delay, or manipulation, adhering to the current standards in writing, such as confirming the hamza and the omitted connecting alif, and he also provided an introduction to the notable figures mentioned in the book. As for the Quranic verses, he indicated their locations in the Holy Quran, and the same was done for the noble hadiths. The poetic verses that are not for the poet’s authorship were attributed to their owners and traced in the literary books that discussed them. As for the tracing of his poetry and prose in literary, historical, and biographical books, whether handwritten or printed, he paid attention to indicating it in the footnotes. He also explained the unfamiliar words in the text to facilitate the reader’s understanding, and to make it easier for the diwan reader, he created a thematic index of the diwan, and he added many indexes for those whom the book or its footnotes translated, as well as indexes for rhymes, Quranic verses, prophetic hadiths, and places.
