Kafur between Poetry and History
Abstract
The paper discusses a very important topic: the image of Kafur Al-Ikhshidi in poetry and history. In history and literature, Kafur's name is mostly associated with Al-Mutanabbi's because the seconds' poems praised and satirized Kafur on numerous occasions. The study attempted to extract the picture of praise for Kafur from Al-, Mutanabbi's poems, as well as the works that presented him as satirical. Justifying the reasons for praise and satire in the same way as Al-Mutanabbi justified Kafur, by comparing these two images to the image and biography that appeared in books of men's biographies and historical sources that documented Kafur Al-Ikhshidi's life in Egypt. While the popular phrase for many was "poetry is truer than history," the repetition of this phrase after studying may cause insomnia in both the recipient and the student, prompting us to revisit some of the postulates and achieve something in fairness to the character of Kafur Al-Ikhshidi for our love and admiration for Al-Mutanabbi and his great legacy, in terms of language, literature, wisdom, and art.
