One of the greatest Arab poets, he lived the best and most generous days of his life in the court of Saif al-Dawla al-Hamdani in Aleppo. He was described as a rarity of his time and a marvel of his time.
I am the one whom the blind looked at my literature... and the deaf heard my words.

Al-Mutanabbi was proud, courageous, ambitious, and a lover of adventures. In his poetry, he was proud of his Arabism and proud of himself. His best poetry was in wisdom, the philosophy of life, and descriptions of battles, as it came in a strong, precise formulation. He was a giant, prolific, creative poet who is truly a source of pride for Arabic literature, as he is the author of famous proverbs, profound wisdom, and innovative meanings. During his travels, he found the road ahead of him prepared for his exceptional poetic talent among princes and rulers, as most of his poems revolved around praising them. But his poetry is not based on affectation and artifice, because his feelings explode and he possesses the mastery of language and statement, which gives it a color of beauty and sweetness. He left a great legacy of strong, clear poetry, which includes 326 poems, which represent the title of his biography, in which he portrayed life in the fourth century AH in the clearest way, and it can be inferred from it how wisdom flowed on his tongue, especially in his last poems in which he seemed to bid farewell to the world when he said: Passion has worn out. physical.
