Abstract
It is familiar, that the Abbasid era included a diverse mix of poets, of different origins,
belonging to several religions, and contradictory nationalities, carrying different if not
discordant ideas and beliefs, all of the past must appear in the text, or at least show its
features No matter how the creator of the text tried to hide it, it represented his identity
residing in his depths and mind, and reflected the ranges of his self-affiliations that he
carried, especially religious, national and intellectual, and even showed the features of
political, social andhistorical affiliation, andfrom here the ideaofthis researchemerged,
andtheopinion was torefertotwodifferentpoetsin eachWhat waspreviouslymentioned,
the opinion became that Abu Tammam and Bashar bin Burd are the two poles of this
equation, and perhaps it is very appropriate to mention that in the stage of my research
investigation on this subject, I did not find any study on this subject in the first Abbasid
era, except for a researchentitled(Dabal Bayn Poetry). Theglow ofpassion andthedepth
of belonging) by Dr. (Star Abdullah Jassim), which we found far from our study in its
scope and content, and I found some similar studies in other eras, including: The book
(Belongingto Pre-Islamic Poetry)byDr.Farouk Ahmed Asel Yum),andaresearchentitled
(The Pre-Islamic Poetbetween theSearchfor Identity andthe Alternative Identity)by Dr.
Or an approach in terms of the content and time of the study, as this study may be a key
to other studies that are deeper, more comprehensive and beneficial.
In the stage of our extrapolation into the two collections of poets Abi Tammam and
Basharbin Burd, we foundtypesof identity andbelonging that represent thepoet’s roots,
historical depth and extensions to which he belongs.
