The technical structure of the poem (Banat Su’ad) by Ka’b ibn Zuhair (d. 26 AH): an artistic study

Abstract

The poem (Bant Souad) Laver has received the attention it has reached, and for example, it indicates that it is in the critics, and that it stemmed from a sincere soul in accepting it, presenting Islam and offering an apology from the Messenger( may God bless him and grant him peace)Whatever criticism was leveled against this poem, it is only criticism from the point of view of our companions whose opinions and views differed without giving us the conclusive evidence and the compelling argument for the validity of what they weigh.  This poem included three purposes: spinning, describing the she-camel and the ram, then the main ground, which is praise, apology, and asking for forgiveness.

 The poem occupied the forefront, and poets followed suit, following its approach and organizing according to its path, and they took it as a model for them in their laudatory poems throughout the ages. And she expressed the goodness of Kaab’s Islam and his response to this position regarding the issuance of the Prophet’s pardon and rewarding him with the greatest gift known to human history, which was the removal of the Messenger’s mantle and his wearing it; It is the burdah that has become of great importance as it was passed down through the generations .

The study aims to analyze the poem (Bant Souad), in terms of the technical artistic on which the poet was based. The researcher relied on the analytical technical method. Without omitting to benefit from other approaches in their place, due to the impossibility of that and the absence of its objectivity.

Presenting this precious gift to a heel is the best evidence that in his praise of the Noble Messenger, if he was seeking a worldly interest or defending his tribe, he was a praise emanating from a sincere heart filled with faith, repentance and return to God for the remainder of his life.
