وَ سُئِلَ مَنْ أَشْعَرُ الشُّعَرَاءِ فَقَالَ (عليه السلام):

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, was asked about the greatest poet and he said: The whole group of them did not proceed on the same lines in such a way that we can know the height of their golry; but if it has to be done then it is the "al-Malik ad-dillil" (the mislead king). Al-Sayyid al-Radi says: Amir al-Mu'minin means Imriu'l-Qays.
