The creative achievement of Youssef Al-Badaie (d. 1073 AH) and its literary value

Abstract

Al-Badi'i was skilled in writing his systems for publishing, and this is what we found in his works, which contained introductions, letters, and debates that he wrote with his pen, containing beautiful rhetorical arts such as assonance, alliteration, and metaphor. He was nicknamed Al-Badi'i due to his ingenuity in using the various arts of rhetoric and his prowess in the art of writing because of what occupied him. The position of the Mosul District Judge and his practice of this profession. He was also adept at writing poetry and the process of composing it, whether it was in the form of a verse, two verses, or several verses, using the arts of poetry of description and praise, as his writing was more in prose than poetry. This is because he held administrative positions in which the art of speech and writing prevailed. In addition, the books he wrote were to get closer to the judge (Abdul Rahman bin Hussam Al-Din) and gain his approval.
