Reading the ancients of the poetic text The Budget Book as a model

This research works on the ancients' reading of the poetic text in the book "The Balance" by Al-Amidi because of its great importance among the books of criticism.This research has monitored the most important rhetorical and critical readings about the evidence that was selected. The opinions of the ancients were different; This is because of its deviation from the prevailing custom and for this reason most of them considered it a defect in poetry, rather some of them argued that this deviation may lead to the corruption of the language However, in many of these readings, we see abuse against Abu Tammam, because of the movement of conflict between the old and the new that appeared in that era. So we tried to prove that this departure and the frequent use of al-Badi' is not considered a defect for the poet, and this is clear in the difference in reading the verse between one critic and another, and in many cases the refusal of the verse is due to not following the approach of the ancients. The reason for the difference in opinions is due to Abu Tammam’s departure from the norm; Therefore, these readings abounded, and that is why we did not find such readings about Al-Buhturi’s poetry, because it is (Arabic poetry, printed, and on the doctrine of the early ones), meaning there is nothing new in his poetry, as it resembled the ancients a lot, if not in everything.
