صورة النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في أشعار معاصريه

Abstract EN

This article aims to display the image of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) inthe poetry of his contemporaries، particularly Hassan Bin Sabet، Kaeb BinZuhair، and Kaeb Bin Malek Al-Ansari and take into account their differentunderstandings of the Prophet (pbuh) which set their perspectivesapart respectively regarding him as both a Prophet and a messenger.

Moreover، their recital of poetry during both ages is considered، and itis psychologically natural for them not to lose all the values stuck to theirminds during the Ignorance Age.

Through their poetry، we will deducehow they employed their inherited ethical norms، which were morallyregarded as high in the Age of Ignorance، to speak well of the Prophet، lamented him، and ridiculed his enemies as they take into considerationhis niche in the Quranic text and the idea that those who follow poets arelost، excluding those who believe and support the his message.

What are the traditional qualities used by the three poets to describe theProphet (pbuh)? What were the newer qualities derived from the message? How did each one of them express these qualities when they embracedIslam? How much of his teachings were they able to understand? Herewe note the difference between the newly converted Kaeb Bin Zuhair'spraise and the Ansar's، and then the difference between Hassan's poetry- already being an elder by the time he converted to Islam - and the poetryof Kaeb who was still young when he was honoured with Islam.

It is toconclude that the disparity between these poets' visions of the Prophet isbut a minimized picture of the heightened disparity between the levels inwhich his contemporaries understood him.
