Poetic Necessity in Ibn Sayyid al-Batalyusi's Al-Hullal fi Sharh Abiat aljumal: A Study of Concept and Application

Abstract

This research examines the concept of poetic necessity in Ibn Sayyid al-Batalyusi's Al-Hullal fi Sharh Abiat al-Jumal through an applied study. The study is structured into an introduction, two main sections, a conclusion, and a list of references. The first section explores poetic necessity in grammatical thought, while the second focuses on an applied analysis of its occurrences in Al-Hullal. The conclusion summarizes the key findings. The research concludes that Ibn Sayyid's perspective aligns with the majority view, defining necessity as deviations in poetry from analogy, absent in prose, regardless of whether the poet had alternatives. He often provides multiple examples to clarify and reinforce his analysis, demonstrating that necessity validates itself through similar instances. This approach highlights the role of analogy in understanding poetic deviations. Additionally, Ibn Sayyid's explanations of necessity rely more on grammatical constructs than on semantic considerations. These findings underscore his emphasis on the technical aspects of grammar when addressing poetic exceptions.
