Abstract
Abū Tammām Habib Ibn ‘Aws Țā’ī was one of the greatest Arab poets and the only poet of his time in the strength of the usage of the words, the beauty and eloquence of poetry and the elegance of its style. Many verses of Abu Tammām's poetry have become folk proverbs and were spread among the people's speaking and found their way into various books and were used as literal evidences in the lexical, morphological, syntactic, rhetorical and poetic works of great writers. What is discussed in this article is the religion of Abu Tammām, which has been the subject of controversy among scholars until now, but based on the three ode poems of Abu Tammām found in his works, some of which had already been removed or distorted from his divan, it is proved that he was an Imami Shiite. The present article is presented following the publication of the book Seh Chakameh Vilai by Abu Tammām Țā’ī, in which the above three poems have been edited and explained from 11 manuscripts, and at the end of the article, the pictures of some relevant manuscripts are presented to show the validity of the poems. The authors have tried to compile and present a summary of the most important points presented in the book concerning the Shiite religion of Abu Tammām in this article.
