An episode of "Reflections" program (10/24/2022) sheds light on the style of Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein, may God be pleased with them, in the advice of an old man who used to perform ablution and did not perform ablution well.

When they saw that the man did not perform ablution well, they said to him: We want you to judge between us by clarifying who of us does not perform ablution well, and when they performed ablution in front of him, he laughed, and said: I am the one who does not perform ablution well.

Concerning the characteristics of generosity and meanness, Al-Sha’bi said: “The noblest of people is the quickest in affection, and the slowest in enmity, like a silver cup.

The leader of satire in the Umayyad era

The "Reflections" program dealt with the career of the Umayyad poet Jarir bin Attia Al-Kalbi Al-Yarbou'i Al-Tamimi, who pioneered the art of satire with Al-Farazdaq and Al-Akhtal, and was distinguished by his ability to degrade the satirist character, and he also excelled in praise, as praised by the Umayyad Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan.

Jarir was born in Najd (653 AD), and he inherited the lineage from his grandfather Hudhayfa bin Badr;

His father carried in himself the insignificance of his reproach, as he inherited eloquence in speech, eloquence and poetry from his grandfather as well, and possessed an intuition in reply and saying, which appeared when he encountered Al-Farazdaq in the rituals of Hajj and Jarir was forbidden.

You will meet Al-Muhassab from Mina / Fakhar, so tell me who you are

Jarir remained silent about him and said, “Oh God!

Greer was famous for his poetry of contradictions, specifically with Al-Farazdaq.

Also, a third party participated in these disputes, which is Al-Akhtal.

This art carried a three-dimensional drawing represented by them.

Jarir excelled technically in the poetry of satire, so he inserted his artistic vision into his poems, detonating them as an attack on his opponents in a scandalous manner.

It is his spelling:

I have prepared for the poets a drenching poison, and I watered the last of them with the cup of the first.

When I put my name on the sky

I poured down upon you from heaven until I snatched you, O Farazdaq from above

After a long satire, Al-Farazdaq died, and Jarir mourned him with a great elegy.

One of the most important features of Jarir’s poems is their introductions before entering the main purpose. They came with abundant meanings, and flowed from the heart of a poet who imposed his talent in his Umayyad era, seeking a sincere emotion that announces its concerns with tenderness and smooth flow.

Jarir also made sure that his poem reached the listener in an easy way away from the prepared, difficult language formulations, and this is what helped it spread and impose its dominance in his time up to the current era, preserving the tradition in the systems of his poem, adhering to the well-known poetic weights, diversified, seeking ease and distinction .

Jarir died in the year 110 AH at the age of 78, and for poems that are never worn out.

The episode of the "Reflections" program dealt with other topics, most notably: the difference between error and error in the "Linguistic Reflections" paragraph, and the origin of the word "Al-Sami'a" or "Al-Sami'a" in the "Origin of the Word" paragraph.
