And it is fitting for you, when eloquence speaks from every limb of yours, to speak. I am seeing, and I think my father is sleeping; whoever dreamed of God, let him dream. Vision grew so large that certainty from vision became delusion. She is of a kind unknown to other poets. This also explains Al-Mutanabbi's hallucination in his claim of prophethood, and for that reason he was named Al-Mutanabbi. His ambition throughout his life was to obtain a governorship or a kingdom, and his anger at Kafur because he did not obtain it. We think that if he had obtained it, he would have made it a Shiite governorship according to his teachings. We see his divan filled with strength and a call to revolution and reliance on courage. This is the reason why he preferred Sayf al-Dawla Ibn Hamdan over Kafur al-Ikhshidi, because the former was a hero in internal wars with the Arabs and external wars with the Crusaders. Indeed, Al-Mutanabbi himself went out with Sayf al-Dawla as a warrior. As for Kafur al-Ikhshidi, he was known for politics, cunning, and shrewdness, not for ferocity in wars. For this reason also, the person he loved most when he came to Egypt was Al-Rumi, for his rare courage, so much so that they called him mad. He cried for him a lot and eulogized him in his divan in three poems, which he did not do for anyone else. He elevated his status as much as he debased the status of Kafur.
