The poet in every era and Egypt is the son of his environment affected by the data of his time and expresses the spirit of that era as he is affected by the influences of the environment in which he lives. The poet is influenced by the poets who preceded him, and the amount of influence and influence varies with the nature of the poet, his psyche, his circumstances, his morals, and his example. We see this influence in Arabic literature since the time of Imru’ al-Qays, when he said: A crooked hill in the desert, so that we may weep at home, as Ibn Hudham wept Although we do not know anything about this Ibn Hudham except through the house of Imru’ al-Qays, where our great poet imitated him and stood on the ruins and cried and cried as Ibn Hutham did this before. And if we move from the concept of influence and influence, which no student of literature doubts, then we see in Arabic literature a poetic phenomenon that preceded the opposition, even if it followed its approach, and it is the phenomenon of antitheses: the plural of antithesis and the sensory connotation of this word is originally taken from the refutation of the building if it is demolished and the rope if it is dissolved and the opposite is the conclusion. For construction.. and the contradiction in saying: to speak with what contradicts its meaning, and the contradiction in poetry is that the other poet refutes what the first said until he comes without what he said... As for the moral meaning, it appears in the breach of covenants and covenants. As for the idiomatic form of contradictions, it is: a poet turns to another with a rhetorical or proud poem, and the other responds to him, rhetoric or proud, committed to the sea, rhyme, and narration that the first chose... As for the meanings, the general principle in them is contrast and difference, because the second poet is interested in spoiling the first with its meanings. He will return it to him if it is a satire, and he will add to it from what he knows or tell him about, and if it is pride that he lied about it or interpreted it in his favor or he put it opposite to it for himself and his people... The side of the meaning if it is the focus of the contradictions and their center and it revolves around taking its elements from accounts, lineages, days, exploits and faults ». Contradictions in this concept have been identified since pre-Islamic times in Arabic literature, such as the infidelity of Alqamah bin Alathah and Amer bin Tufail, and Amer bin Al-Tufail with Al-Nabigha Al-Dhubyani, the infidelity of Qais bin Al-Khatim and Hassan bin Thabit and other discord.
