Books review of author Amr bin Bahr Al-Jahiz pdf
Al-Jahiz Al-Kinani is Abu Othman Amr bin Bahr bin Mahboub bin Fazara Al-Laithi Al-Kinani Al-Basri: (159 AH-255 AH) an Arab writer who was one of the great imams of literature in the Abbasid era. He was born in Basra and died there. His origin is different, some of them said that he was an Arab from the Kinana tribe, and some said that his origin goes back to Zanj and that his grandfather was a maid of a man from Banu Kinana, and that was because of his dark skin. In Al-Jahiz’s letter, he was famous for saying that he is an Arab and not a Negro, as he said: “I am a man from the Banu Kinana, and the caliphate has a kinship, and I have a pre-emption in it, and they are after sex and a clan.” Al-Jahiz had a clear protrusion in his pupils, so he was called Al-Haqqi, but the nickname that stuck to him more and with him his fame flew In the horizons he is Al-Jahiz. Al-Jahiz lived about ninety years and left many books that are difficult to enumerate, although the statement and the explanation and the book “The Animals and the Misers” are the most famous of these books, books on theology, literature, politics, history, morals, plants, animals, industry, women and others.
