The Dīwān Abū Nu'ās is a poetry book written by Yaqub Ibn as-Sikkit.
In the 860s, the famed author Al-Jahiz sought to collect the book to add to his library in the House of Wisdom. The Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq found a copy of the book in the Palace of the Green Dome and delivered it to him.[1]
Basim's description
I do not know much about poetry, but my heart is stirred by these verses. There are poems about things I did not think you could write poetry about but in this book, everyday things are rendered almost ... holy or sacred.
