Özet:

Poetry is one of the linguistic materials preferred by the scholars of Arabic grammar (syntax) in determining the rules of Arabic. Indeed, due to its ability to preserve the unique structure of Arabic, it has been used in the activity of linguistic testimony by all syntax scholars. However, it has been stated that not every heard poem is subject to that kind of testimony and that there are some criteria in this regard. It has been widely accepted that poems written in a certain period can be used as evidence for syntax issues. Although it has not been explicitly stated as a requirement in the early works of syntax, then issue of the poet's identity has been raised, especially in the discussions among the linguistic schools, leading to the emergence of the problem of the couplet of anonymous. This study examines different views put forward regarding whether the couplet of anonymous can be subject to linguistic analysis. It is mentioned in the sources that there are different opinions expressed by scholars such as al-Anbārī (d. 577/1181), Abū Ḥayyān (d. 745/1344), and Ibn Hishām (d. 761/1360) on this matter. Starting with Sībawaihi (d. 180/796), the historical background of the subject will be outlined in the article, the views of the mentioned scholars will be examined, objections and criticisms made to them will be evaluated, and an attempt will be made to answer the question: "Is the anonymity of the poet sufficient alone for the rejection of a couplet?”
