Rhetorical Aspects in the Poem of "Al-Burdah" by Al-Būṣīrī [29-59]; An Analytical Rhetorical Study

Abstract

Sharaf Al-Dīn Muḥammad Ibn Saʿīd Al-Ṣanhājī Al-Būṣīrī (d: 697 AH) was a master of Arabic rhetoric, and his famous poem "Al-Burdah", tagged with "Al-Kawākib Al-Durriyyah Fī Madḥ Khayr Al-Bariyyah" is a testament to his skill in this field. The poem is known for its complex and intricate use of rhetorical devices, including metaphor, simile, allusion, and rhyme. One of the most prominent rhetorical devices used in the poem is the use of simile, where the poet compares the Prophet Muḥammad's physical and moral attributes to natural phenomena such as the sun, moon, and stars. This technique not only highlights the Prophet's greatness but also creates vivid and memorable images in the reader's mind. Another notable aspect of the poem's rhetoric is its use of repetition, particularly in the refrain that appears at the end of each stanza. This repetition not only reinforces the poem's themes but also creates a sense of rhythm and musicality that adds to its beauty. Additionally, the poem makes use of rhetorical questions, hyperbole, and irony to convey its message and engage the reader. These techniques, combined with the poem's religious and cultural significance, have made it a beloved and enduring work of Arabic literature. So, in this article, we will examine the status of the second 31 couplets of "Al-Qaṣīdah Al-Burdah" so that it can be known the artistic status of such a popular Qaṣīdah.
