The Commander of the Faithful (A) was asked about the greatest poet and he said: The whole group of them did not proceed on the same lines in such a way that we can know the height of their glory; but if it has to be done then it is the ‘al-Malik ad-dillil’ (the mislead king). As-Sayyid ar-Razi says: The Commander of the Faithful (A) means Imru’l Qays.
