Enjoyment and sociability.. Part 1

Abu Hayyan Al-Tawhidi is one of those literary scholars who were afflicted with misery and misery in their lives. He spent his entire life striving and struggling in writing, copying, and traveling between countries. He went to princes and ministers in the hope that they might reward his knowledge and literature. But he achieved no benefit from all of this, and he lived in hardship due to the lack of money. Although, as he says, he saw all the scholars and poets around him enjoying a lot of money and good fortune from the princes, but not most of them. He equals him in knowledge or matches him in literature. He meant Ibn al-Ameed, Ibn Abbad, Ibn Shahawayh, Ibn Saadan, Abu al-Wafa al-Muhandis, and others. He praised and flattered, cried and complained, threatened and promised, but neither his praise nor his disparagement nor his flattery nor his satire benefited him. If he benefited anything from what Abu Hayyan suffered, then it is politeness in what he wrote and composed, and in what he satirized and sought sympathy.
