Diwan Kashajim

Author's name: Kashajim

The book "Diwan Kashajim," compiled and edited by Professor Majeed Trad, presents the poetry of Mahmud ibn al-Husayn ibn al-Sindi, nicknamed Kashajim, the famous Abbasid poet who lived during the reign of Caliph Rashid. Born in Ramla, Palestine, opinions about his origins vary between Persian and Indian. He moved between several Islamic cities and settled in Aleppo, where he was one of the Hamdanid poets. Kashajim is known for his eloquence and wisdom, and has written famous works such as "Adab al-Nadim" (The Companion's Literature) and "Al-Masa'id wa al-Mutared" (The Fishers and the Hunted). The book discusses his collection, arranged alphabetically, and includes poems praising the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as well as detailed interpretations and notes on his poems, making it a rich resource for those interested in Abbasid literature.
