احتفاء القبيلة بالشاعر بين الحقيقة والوضع

Abstract

     This study is concerned with an important case which has been, for a long time, of concern to those studying pre-Islamic literature. It is  "the tribe's celebration of the poet's birth" and the stories about it. All of the resources that are mentioned in this research are based on Ibn Rachik Al-Kairwani. This research is an attempt to trace this issue from various angles to reach the truth. What was based on by Ibn Rachik Al-Kairwani  was not found before him. Moreover, this research tried to consult the pre-Islamic resources which existed before Ibn Rachik Al-Kairwani to validate this story. It was necessary to tackle the social structure of the pre-Islamic era and what distinguished it from the other nations. The research concluded that this story was not found before Ibn Rachik Al-Kairwani. Adding to that, all of those who reported it did so based on his story. This research is meant to be a starting point for those who want to cut off doubt.
