Mu'allaqat, Al-, collection of seven pre-Islamic Arabic qasida (odes), each considered to be its author's best piece. Since the authors themselves are among the dozen or so most famous poets of the 6th century, the selection enjoys a unique position in Arabic literature, representing the finest of early Arabic poetry.Taken together, the poems of the Mu 'allaqiit provide an excellent picture of Bedouin life, manners, and modes of thought. The idea ofgrouping together these particular poems is most commonly attributed to Hammad al-Riiwiyah, who was an 8th-century collector of early poetry. An often-repeated legend that originated in the I 0th century states that the poems were written down in golden letters on scrolls of linen that were then hung, or "suspended" (mu 'a//aq), on the walls of the Ka'bah in Mecca. It is by no means clear, however, that Hammad him selfever used the name Mu 'allaqiit in referring to his compilation. Instead, he appears to have referred to it as the "seven renowned ones" (al-sab' al mashhiiriit) or simply as "the renowned ones" (a/• mashhiiriiq. Most probably, the name Mu 'allaqiit in this context is a derivative of the word 'ilq, "a precious thing," so that its meaning would be "the poems which are esteemed precious." All that can be said with certainty is that the name Mu 'allaqiit appeared about 900 to distinguish the seven poems as a subset in a larger compilation of poems.
