Diwan of Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan

Author's name: Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan

"Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan is a prominent figure in the history of Arabs and Muslims as a whole. He was famous for his cunning and political wisdom. He also had clear glimpses of oratory and literature, which highlights the claim by some that Muawiyah had a poetry collection attributed to him. The book in our hands attempts to monitor these poems, collecting their material from various sources, historical, literary and linguistic, and rearranging them on pages, where they were arranged according to the alphabetical sequence of the rhymes in alphabetical order, while proving the appropriateness of each story and poem. This is in addition to explaining the words of the verses and their meanings, clarifying them. In addition to this, attention was paid to grading the pieces and poems, where the original source for each piece and poem was mentioned, then other sources, if available, with a reference to what was mentioned in each of them, followed by mentioning the differences in the narrations, if any."
