Al-Mutanabi's Narcissism: The dew's nurturing and the lord of rhymes, authored by Hazem Hassan Al-Araj

Perhaps the current book will not add anything new for those interested in Al-Mutanabbi, especially those immersed in his poetry and life, and even more so those who delve into explanations of his Diwan and stories of his poems. They are many today, and I know many of them personally. They are well acquainted with Al-Mutanabbi, memorizing from his poetry what pleases them, and they argue among themselves over their strong opinions regarding the many issues caused by Al-Mutanabbi among them. So, will this book add anything to their store of knowledge about Al-Mutanabbi? Therefore, I have generally taken what has been conveyed about Al-Mutanabbi without delving into those issues to avoid falling into them, and I acknowledge that Al-Mutanabbi is exclusive to them, even though I dared to write about him. As for the ordinary readers, they are the ones who benefit most from this book, especially since I have tried hard to elaborate on its topics to complete the process of planting the idea I assumed, then I went on to prove it through Al-Mutanabbi’s poetry and the stories related to those poems, to add a kind of enjoyment for the regular readers and to build their knowledge of those sayings they often hear, which are in fact poems of Al-Mutanabbi with their stories that evoke a passion for reading and knowledge about a poet who has always filled the world and occupied people's minds.
