A brief about Diwan of Al-Abbas bin Al-Ahnuf: He is Al-Abbas bin Al-Ahnuf bin Al-Aswad bin Talha bin Hadan bin Kalda bin Jadhim bin Shihab bin Salim bin Hiyah bin Kulaib bin Abd Allah bin Uday bin Haniyah bin Lajim bin Sa'b bin Ali bin Bakr bin Wail. He loved a girl named Fawz because she was very successful in races and competitions so as not to reveal her real name. In another narration by Ali bin Sulaiman Al-Ukhaish, that Al-Abbas bin Al-Ahnuf was from the Arabs of Khorasan, and he was originally from Baghdad. Abu Bakr Al-Suli said: "I saw Al-Abbas bin Al-Ahnuf in Baghdad after Harun Al-Rashid died, and his house was at Bab Al-Sham. He was a friend of mine and died when he was less than sixty years old." If the narration of Al-Suli is correct and that bin Al-Ahnuf died after Harun Al-Rashid, then the poet was born around 103 AH, and there is no room for what Ibn Khalkan said that he died around 192 AH, on the day the well-known grammarian Al-Kisai died, and that Al-Rashid ordered Al-Ma'mun to pray for both of them... He was a tender poet of love. Al-Buhturi said about him: he is the most romantic among people. Abu Al-Fadl is noble in lineage, originally from Banu Haniyah, but his family resides in Basra. He grew up in Baghdad and became famous there. Harun Al-Rashid connected with him and he gained favor with him... He differed from poets in their style, so he did not earn money from poetry. Most of his poetry was about love, the ode, and description, and he did not go beyond praise and satire. Al-Mubarrad praised him in the book Al-Rawdah and favored him over his peers when he said: "Al-Abbas was witty, and he was not among the frivolous. He was a romantic poet and not a sinner. He appeared to be of royal taste, very luxurious, and this is evident in his poetry. His focus was on love and the ode, and he was sweet, acceptable, abundant in love poetry, full of thought, wide in speech, and often engaged in love alone. He was not a satirist nor a panegyrist..."
