The Diwan of Tarafa ibn al-Abd is a collection of poems by the pre-Islamic poet Tarafa ibn al-Abd ibn Sufyan ibn Sa'd al-Bakri al-Wa'ili, born in 86 BH (Before Hijra), corresponding to 538 CE. He was a pre-Islamic poet from the Banu Bakr tribe and is considered one of the first-rank poets. He is one of the authors of the well-known pre-Islamic Mu'allaqat (Suspended Odes). The poetry of Tarafa ibn al-Abd was collected in a diwan comprising 18 fragments and 16 poems, totaling approximately 400 verses. Numerous editions of the diwan have been published, including one in Châlons, France, in 1900 CE, edited by Max Slughos. Author: Tarafa ibn al-Abd was a pre-Islamic Arab poet of the first rank, from the historical region of Bahrain. He is considered one of the poets of the Mu'allaqat (the seven suspended odes). His name was said to be Tarafa ibn al-Abd ibn Sufyan ibn Saad ibn Malik ibn Dabi’a, also known as Abu Amr. He was nicknamed Tarafa and belonged to the Banu Qays ibn Tha’laba clan of the Banu Bakr ibn Wa’il tribe. He was born around 543 AH to noble parents, and his high lineage contributed to his poetic talent. His grandfather, father, two uncles (al-Murqashan), and maternal uncle (al-Mutalammis) were all poets. His father died when he was still young, and his uncles took him in. However, they mistreated him, restricting his upbringing and depriving his mother of her rights. No sooner had Tarafa opened his eyes to life than he threw himself into its embrace, indulging in its pleasures: revelry, drunkenness, games, extravagance, and wastefulness. He lived a neglected, carefree, and wandering childhood, traveling to the far reaches of the Arabian Peninsula. He then returned to his people, tending the camels of his brother Ma’bad, before resuming his life of frivolity. His travels eventually led him to the court of al-Hira, where he met King Amr ibn Hind, who made him one of his courtiers. The king then sent him with a letter to al-Mukabbar, his governor of Bahrain and Oman. He ordered him to be killed because of verses in which the king learned that Tarafa had satirized him. So al-Mukabbar killed him as a young man, not yet thirty, in the year 569 AH. ❇️ Some Reviews of the Diwan of Tarafa ibn al-Abd ❇️ ▪️Source of reviews: www.goodreads.com/ar/book/show/13590480▪️ - The Diwan of Tarafa ibn al-Abd (one of the authors of the Mu'allaqat) is from the pre-Islamic era.
