Abstract

The study aims to examine the features of the language used by the poet Zuhair bin Abi Sulma, which makes the reader stand in front of an amazing portrait of political dialogue and diplomatic techniques which eventually led to the cessation war which lasted for years and almost ended the clans of Abs and Theban. The research seeks to follow the minute details of lifestyle back then as the poet does justice to those who did their best to stop the war and the absurdity of death so everyone enjoyed peace. Hence, the poet does justice to Haram Bin Sinan and Al-Hareth Bin Awf as he dedicated part of his poems to immoratalize their memories along with immortalizing the age, the agreement, the poem, and the poet himself.
