Abu tammam
Life story
Abu Tammam was conceived in Jasim, Syria, north-east of the Sea of Tiberias and close Daraa. He appears to have spent his childhood in Homs, however, as per one story, he was utilized amid his childhood moving water at a mosque in Cairo. His first appearance as an artist was in Egypt, however as he neglected to bring home the bacon there he went to Damascus, and afterward to Mosul.[2] From there he looked for support from the Syrian-based caliph Al-Ma'mun of the Abbasid Empire, yet neglected to awe him. He at that point went towards the eastern piece of the caliphate, in the long run picking up admirers and supporters by lauding different authorities, for example, the legislative leader of Arminiya Khalid ibn Yazid al-Shaybani who allegedly gave him 10 000 dirhams on each event and financed his travels.[3] Following the demise of al-Ma'mun, the recently popular Abu Tamman looked for a crowd of people with the new caliph Al-Mu'tasim who quickly encouraged him. After 833 he lived for the most part in Baghdad, at the court of the caliph Mu'tasim. From Baghdad he visited Khorasan, where he appreciated the support of Abdullah ibn Tahir. In around 845 he was in Ma'arrat un-Nu'man, where he met the writer al-Buhturi (c. 820– 897). He kicked the bucket in Mosul in 845.[4]
Abu Tammam is best known in writing by his ninth century gathering of early ballads known as the Hamasah.[2] The Hamasah (Arabic: حماسة, "appeal") is one of the best treasurys of Arabic writing at any point composed. Abu Tammam accumulated these cooperates when he was snowbound in Hamadan, where he approached an incredible library having a place with Abu al-Wafa Ibn Salama.[5] There are ten books of ballads in the Hamasah, all characterized by subject. Some of them are determinations from long sonnets. This is one of the treasuries of early Arabic verse, and the lyrics are of uncommon excellence. A later treasury by a similar name was assembled by the artist al-Buhturi, and the term has been utilized in current occasions to signify "brave epic."
Two different accumulations of a comparable sort are credited to Abu Tammam. His very own lyrics have been to some degree disregarded inferable from the accomplishment of his accumulations, however they delighted in incredible notoriety in his lifetime. His sonnets mirror an expressive break from winning oral-based ideas of Arab poetry,[6] regularly portraying chronicled occasions and individuals. They were recognized for the virtue of their style, the value of the stanza, and the phenomenal way of treating subjects,[2] and have been connected to the predominant Mutazilite reasoning of the Abbasid period.[7] His sonnets were distributed in Cairo in 1875.
As indicated by the writer Adunis, Abu Tammam "began from a dream of verse as a kind of production of the world through dialect, looking at the connection between the artist and the word to the connection between two darlings, and the demonstration of forming verse to the sexual act."[8
