who is the first to tell poems

It is said that the first person who said poetry on the face of the earth was our master Adam, peace be upon him, and he said poetry lamenting his son Abel when his brother Cain killed him, and he said

My eyes cried, and they deserve to cry, and the tears of the eyes flowed down

Why can't I be better at shedding tears while Abel is included in the shrine?

Cain Abel killed his brother and buried him in Al-Wajh Al-Sabeeh

The country has changed and the face of the earth is dusty

Change all taste and color to lose you, oh morning, oh good

O Abel, if you are killed, then I will be sad and sad for you forever.

You are the life of all those on earth, and they have lost you, O spirit and wind

And you are preponderant of fate, O eloquent Salim, rather Samih, but Subeh

You are not dead, but you are alive, and the wretched Cain is the crippled.

He is indignant at the Lord of the wilderness, and you have a frank surrender

Then Satan answered him, saying:

You mourn over the country and those on it, and in paradise, the vastness has narrowed you down

And you and your husband were in bliss from the Lord, and your heart was at ease.

I deceived you in my cunning, then I deceived you until you missed a good life

It has been said that Qahtan bin Ya’rub was the first among the Arabs to write poetry, and no poems about him were mentioned

It has also been reported that the first person who said poetry was Al-Anbar bin Amr bin Tamim

It is worth mentioning that poetry had a prestigious and high status among the pre-Islamic Arabs, to the extent that their poetry was their holy bible. Except for the Arabs, and what is meant by the Gospels here is the poems

And this narration is very much in agreement with what has been said that poetry is the Arabs’ divan, as poetry is their immortal record that narrates their customs, traditions, and noble morals, and tells about them, carries them, consolidates them, and looks at them, because the Arabs were, Abu Tammam said in this

And had it not been for her age of poetry, I would not know where the honors would come from

The purposes of poetry among the Arabs varied between lamentation, satire, praise, spinning, apology, pride, and others.

Poetry scholars say: “Old poets used to say the few verses when needed, and there was no concept of the poem yet.” With the progress of time, the verses varied and their number increased, and there became a diversity in the ways poets composed poetry, and poems appeared after that when experience, training, and thought progressed, and there became the long poems that we know.

One of Al-Asma’i’s sayings is that the first narration of a poem of thirty verses was by Muhalhal, and after him was Dhu’ib bin Ka’b, then a man from Bani Kinanah called Damra.

And there is Ibn Qutayba, where he said that poetry began with the words of Duwaid bin Nahd Al-Qudha’i:

Today Dawid builds his house, if it were for eternity, I would have worn it out

Or if my horn is one, its sufficiency, O Lord, is the goodness of its enclosure
