إشكالية الانتماء النوعي لقصيدة كعب بن زهير المزني (م 26 ه)‎ بانت سعاد

Abstract EN

The majority of the ancient Arab critics and the modern researchers, including the Orientalists, regard the poem as a prophetic panegyric; they consider Ka'b ibn Zuhair to be the founder of the literary genre "an-nabawiya" or "Prophetics" in Arabic poetry.

But we argue that this poem appertains to the genre "alitithariyat" or the genre "Excuses." We resolve this problem in the following steps: 1.

analysis of the poem's themes, 2.

the target of the poet 3.

the psychological motive for the creation of this poem 4.

the function of the poem .

After all these steps, we arrive at a final result .

1.

this poem isn't a prophetic panegyric poem , but an excuse poem , like the six excuses poems of an-Nabigha a-Dubyani addressed to the king an-Nu'man of A1-Hira in the pre- islamic period, for there are many similarities; 2.

Ka'b ibn Zuhair isn't the founder of the prophetic panegyric genre , because the true founder was the prophet's poet Hassan bin Thabit.
