Dr. Sulaiman bin Nasser Al-Oboodi Othman bin Abdullah Al-Omoudi The Poet's Necklace Third Edition Author's Name: Dr. Sulaiman bin Nasser Al-Oboodi General View Introduction and Indices The Poet's Necklace Selected Poems from the Early Ages with comments that reveal their meanings and illuminate their obscurities Sulaiman Al-Oboodi Othman Al-Omoudi Examining the poetry of the ancient Arabs, encompassing their well-known verses, and mastering their linguistic material in expression and addressing is the shortest and most famous serious way — after knowing the two revelations — for anyone who wishes to have the fullest chance and highest rank of ability to express what stirs within himself of feelings, what blazes in his soul of ideas, and what churns in his mind of knowledge. And this book aims to prepare for that by including selected poetry from the early ages, chosen for preservation and citation, with explanations that clarify their ambiguities, resolve their mysteries, and illuminate their obscurities. And among the features of the selected verses are: - Their containing subtle meanings suitable for argument or citation. - That they are from ancient poetry, either from the Pre-Islamic era especially, or the Umayyad era, or the Abbasid era, because these advanced periods have a clear merit over the poetry of later ages. - That they have been mentioned by some of the language imams, or appeared in some well-known linguistic collections. - That they are short poetic pieces, to prevent boredom, stimulate memory, and facilitate citation.
