Diwan Jarir, explaining Muhammad bin Habib

Jarir grew up in the Badia of Najd and lived in it, and learned poetry early on the tongue of his grandfather Hudhayfah bin Badr, and he grew up in the Umayyad era in which the parties were numerous, so each party was its poets who spoke in its name and defended it. Jarir had to defend the honor and dignity of his tribe, so he had to annihilate his life in the wrestling of poets and their spelling until it was said that he was a glow and defeated eighty poets of his time, and he was proven only from them except the idiot and Al -Farazdaq.
