Attaching importance to the Arabic poem was the first of such literary productions . Accordingly , the Karbala literary arena flourished as to the appearance of a number of local poets who produced and left a literary heritage which deserved to be glorified and which was worthy of study and attention . It is , therefore , important to pay attention to the role of these poets who , due to their literary role , enriched the heritage of the city in the field of poetry . Al- Sheikh Muhammad Hasan Abu Al- Mahasin was considered one of the most eminent poets who contributed to the movement and documentation of the events that the city witnessed through their literary role or through their political and social acts .
