Explanation of the Ten Mu'allaqat (Pendants) and the News of the Poets, by Ahmad ibn al-Amin al-Shinqiti. The Ten Mu'allaqat collection is considered to be the best of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. The poets include the seven commonly recognized, Imru-ul Qays, Tarfah bin al-‘Abd, Zuhayr bin Abi Salmaa, Labeed bin Rabee’ah, ‘Amr bin Kulthum, ‘Antarah bin Shaddad and Al-Harith bin Halza. Some of the narrations also added another three names to this elite group: Al-Naabiga al-Dhubyani, Al-‘A’asha and ‘Ubayd bin al Abras al-Asadi, to come to the ten.
