This is Bakr's research, which was not addressed - in most cases - by one of the researchers before me. I wanted it to be a study of the martyrdom of the grammarians in Rajaz. And Ru'bah bin Al-Ajaj, who was famous for shaking and devoted himself to his systems and his intention to turn poets to poetry and intend it, so I dealt with in it the various purposes that poetry dealt with, such as praise, satire, pride, lamentation, description ... etc., and I was limited in this research to mentioning Citing their rituals and showing their status among the Arab imams. I had conducted a detailed study of the martyrdom of the grammarians by poets of different classes, and the different grammarians in that, so I wanted this research to be a brother to that study, a complement to the elements of the research, even if I had something in my heart, because the sources did not help - despite the proliferation of research with more than I have found To him, it suffices to cite the example of Ibn Jinni’s saying: “Ru'ba and his father Al-Ajaj used to improvise words.” Others have transmitted this narration in their books. This and his ilk were obstacles in my way, which made me follow the grammar books and evidences and settled them, hoping that I might gain something that was inconsistent here and there to reach the detection of the blocking of some facts, so I was after the trouble of reaching the required thing, as if I was sculpting a room. It relieves me of being the pioneer of the service of the Arabic language, so perhaps I would have done even a little work to serve it, and God bless.
