السياق · The story

Al-Jahiz praised Judge Ahmad ibn Abi Du'ad, Ibrahim ibn Rabah, and Muhammad al-Jahm with these verses. Accounts and editorial corrections indicate that poets competed in claiming these verses and praising Ibrahim ibn Rabah with them, until Al-Jahiz entered, praised him with them, and took money for them. Later, when Al-Jahiz was with Ibn Abi Du'ad, the latter praised the verses with which Abu Uthman (Al-Jahiz) had praised him, causing Ibrahim ibn Rabah to be astonished at Al-Jahiz's lack of shame in praising Ibn Abi Du'ad with a poem he had previously used to praise Ibrahim.

بَدا حينَ أَثرى بِاِخوانِهِفَقَلَّلَ عَنهُم شَباةَ العَدَم
وَذِكرُهُ الدَهرُ صَرفُ الزَمانِفَبادَرَ قَبلَ اِنتِقالِ النِعَم
فَتى خَصَّهُ اللَهُ بِالمَكرُماتفَمازَجَ مِنهُ الحَيا بِالكَرَم
إِذا هِمَةُ قَصَّرَت عَن يَدِتَناوَلَها بِجَزيلِ الهِمَم
وَلا يَنكَتُ الأَرضَ عِندَ السُؤاللِيَقطَعَ زُوارِهِ مِن نِعَم
