Özet:

The first poems about the Prophet Muhammad appeared while he was alive. These first examples, which are panegyrics (madīḥ, i'tiḳār, fakhr and ris̱ā), largely reflect the characteristics of the pre-Islamic kaṣīda poetry. Due to the developments in the following centuries, the number of poems about the Prophet increased. And thus, a separate literary genre was formed under the name al-madīḥ al-nabawī. Especially the fact that sufi leaning poets contributed to the literary richness in this field. Another factor is the beginning of the tradition of writing mawlid poems in memory of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. The thirteen century was an important period for poems praising the Prophet Muhammad. Two important poets emerged in this century. One of them is Egyptian poet al-Būṣīrī and the other is Baghdad's famous poet, Yaḥyā al-Sharṣarī. Even after his death, the works with high literary value were read and memorized in the circles of science, literature and Sufism. Due to his competence in the field, al-Sharṣarī was known as the poet of the Prophet and Ḥassān b. Thābit of his time. However, it is understood that his poems, which lost their importance in literary circles over time, were not studied as much as they deserved in the modern period. In this article, his life and works are introduced and basic language and stylistic features of his poems are examined. Also, the image of the Prophet in his poems was determined within the framework of the political conditions of the period.
