About The Book
al-Hamziyya — formally Umm al-Qura fi Madh Khayr al-Wara (The Mother of Cities in Praise of the Best of Creation) — is Imam al-Busiri's great ode in praise of the Prophet (peace be upon him), comprising 457 lines all ending in the letter hamza. Where his Burda is the more famous of his two great qasidas, the Hamziyya is in many ways the more comprehensive: it traces the Prophetic story from the noble lineage through the lights that preceded him, his birth, his early life, his prophetic call, his message, his miracles, his ascension, his campaigns, and his closing days — a complete poetic sira in a single ode.
The Hamziyya has been recited continuously in Sunni gatherings since al-Busiri's lifetime and has generated dozens of commentaries, foremost those of Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, al-Bajuri, and al-Sunbati.
About The Author
Imam Sharaf al-Din Muhammad b. Said al-Busiri (608-696 AH / 1212-1296 CE) was an Egyptian Shadhili poet from Busir in the Egyptian Delta, the disciple of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi (the second great Shadhili master). His two great qasidas in praise of the Prophet — the Burda and the Hamziyya — are the two anchoring odes of Sunni Prophetic devotional poetry.
عن الكتاب
"الهمزية" — اسمُها الكامل "أمّ القرى في مدح خير الورى" — قصيدةُ الإمام البوصيري الكبرى في مدح النبي ﷺ، في ٤٥٧ بيتاً قافيتُها الهمزة. وإذا كانت "البردة" أشهر القصيدتين، فالهمزية أشمل: تَتَتَبَّع السيرةَ النبوية من النَّسَب الشريف، فالأنوار التي سَبَقَتْه، فمولده، فنشأته، فبَعْثه، فدعوته، فمعجزاته، فإسرائه، فمغازيه، فأيامه الأخيرة — سيرةٌ شعرية كاملة في قصيدةٍ واحدة. وعليها شروحٌ كثيرة، أبرزها لابن حجر الهيتمي والباجوري والسنباطي.

About the author
Sharaf al-Din al-Busiri: Muhammad ibn Saʿid al-Busiri (608–696 AH / 1211–1294 CE) was an Egyptian poet and Sufi whose verse in praise of the Prophet Muhammad has been loved across the Muslim world for more than seven centuries. He was born in Upper Egypt, his nisba drawn from the village of Abusir, and raised between there and Dalas. Moving to Cairo as a young man, he memorized the Qurʾan, studied the Arabic sciences, and earned his living as a clerk and a skilled calligrapher. In maturity he entered the Shadhili Sufi path under Abu al-ʿAbbas al-Mursi, the spiritual successor of Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili, and his poetry came to carry the devotion and longing of that tradition. His enduring fame rests on the Qasida al-Burda, the Poem of the Mantle, composed in roughly 160 verses of praise and supplication. By long-told account he wrote it while gravely ill and was healed after seeing the Prophet in a dream, who draped him in his mantle, the burda that gave the poem its name. The Burda became perhaps the most widely recited, sung, memorized, and commented-upon poem in Islamic literature, drawing commentaries from scholars across the centuries, several of which accompany the translations offered here. Al-Busiri also composed the Hamziyya, a longer ode in the Prophet's praise. He died in Egypt and is honored as one of the great voices of Prophetic devotion. (Some sources give his death as 691 AH.)
