Wikipedia, June 15, 2017: Mu'allaqat (The Muʻallaqāt (Arabic: المعلقات = al-Muʻallaqāt) is a group of seven long Arabic poems that are considered the best work of the pre-Islamic era. The name means The Suspended Odes or The Hanging Poems, the traditional explanation being that these poems were hung on or in the Ka'ba at Mecca. The name Muʻallaqāt has also been explained figuratively, as if the poems "hang" in the reader's mind.)
Britannica online, June 15, 2017 (Al-Muʻallaqāt; collection of seven pre-Islamic Arabic qaṣīdahs (odes), each considered to be its author's best piece. Since the authors themselves are among the dozen or so most famous poets of the 6th century, the selection enjoys a unique position in Arabic literature, representing the finest of early Arabic poetry; idea of grouping together these particular poems is most commonly attributed to Ḥammād al-Rāwiyah, who was an 8th-century collector of early poetry; it is by no means clear, however, that Ḥammād himself ever used the name Muʻallaqāt in referring to his compilation. Instead, he appears to have referred to it as the "seven renowned ones" (al-sabʻ al-mashhūrāt) or simply as "the renowned ones" (al-mashhūrāt); the name Muʻallaqāt appeared about 900 to distinguish the seven poems as a subset in a larger compilation of poems; the poems provide an excellent picture of Bedouin life, manners, and modes of thought)
