Abstract

About me Abu Tammam great attention to Arabic poetry righteousness from it. As he collected Arabic poetry in enthusiasm and other books. This familiarity with Arabic poetry was one of the factors that led to the refinement of his artistic taste, in addition to his artistic sense and clarity of mind. Making He is well versed in saying poetry in all the arts, so we must in poetry count the best three of the generators, namely Al-Mutanabi and Al-Buhtari, and he is the first of the three, and among them he is the one who fights him against Sahibiyah. Abu Tammam is considered the head of the third class of hadith scholars whose meanings of the advanced and the later came to him. His culture had a great impact on that as he translated in his time Greek, Persian and Hindi books, and his mind became more aware and kinder of his imagination by looking at them. It is said: that Abu Tamam and Al-Mutanabi are wise men and the poet Al-Buhtri. And the reason for the quality of Abi Tammam's hair is that it comes in multiplying visions, showing what happened and showing his bounty. And the print, which is at the level of poetry, is of little fall because it does not appear good from the rest of the poetry, and for that reason, the goodness of Abi Tamam became known and known. And Al-Amdi says: I looked at the poetry of Abi Tamam and Al-Buhtry in the years of seventeen and three hundred and chose their good, picked up their goodness, and then browsed their hair after that over time. And from what I learned that I chose more than thirty verses of Abi Tammams poetry over what I had chosen in the past, and the reason for this is that the poetry of Abi Tamam has acquired a form that the Arabs had not known before in their poetry because of the Greek thinking methods it contained. This phenomenon did not appear in an Arab poet, its prominence in the poetry of Abu Tammam. Also, his thinking style differs from that of Arab poets. Because he is educated familiar with Greek philosophy. And the impact of this culture has colored his thinking with a color that appears strange, and this is what made critics differ in judging his poetry. So, the more the eternal of his bad, while the more the good one of the good. Whoever looks closely at his poetry finds that his poetry is closer to deep thought and that it is, in its complexity. It is not familiar to the average reader, because it covers its meanings with workmanship, until the return of his judgmental verses is only understood by grammarians, jurists, scholars and philosophers.
