Abstract
Poetry, as defined, is a humanistic stance stimulating the passion of a poet into life and existence and comes into light in the cultural Arabic life since early stages. Such is incarnated with reality and works in tandem with its criticism and perfect systems; the entity of man is described as a value and personality in creation and ethics domain that are preponderant in his influence and obeisance. Some of such poetry takes hold of both the personality of Imam Ali Ibin Al-Ridha (Peace be upon him) and portrays him as marvelous in the light of sheer human perfection and the features of the good man the divine texts target, and keeps pace with his life, permeates through the hidden items and complicated stimulus in the political life the Imam indulges himself in; all these lead to his poisoned quietus. Such a research paper is an endeavour to draw a line of importance to salient candid stances the Imam takes in his life, in particular, the relationship with Al-Mammon, Al-`Ahid region and the case of his mysterious death. The meant study takes such a viewpoint in terms of three pivots: 1-Having the portrait of the hero: the poetic image that is a point of poetry convergence incarnating the image of Al-Ridha (peace be upon him) as a man and Imam. 2- having the brace of vice and virtue; there is a comparison the poets set between Al-Ridha (Peace be upon him) and Abbasid Caliphates, specifically, Al-Mammon. 3-Having the image of martyrdom poetically: such a state sheds light on the death of the Imam and what mysteries and ambiguities it casts.
