Children's Poetry and Biography of the Prophet (an analysis of structure music and content)

One of the neglected aspects of the Prophet's life is his attention to the poetry and literature of the children. Historically speaking, children's poems, which generally had exciting rhythm and rhyme, were recited for the Prophet in his childhood. The Prophet also read some of the children's poems for children like Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein, and sometimes he commented on some of these poems. In this article, historical and Hadith texts are studied in order to discover children's poems that are mentioned in the biography of the Prophet. It is argued the structure of some of these poems is most likely to be similar to the structure of poetry that Iranian Gosan have recited in pre-Islamic times, and it is possible that some of the Arab children's poems were influenced by the pre-Islamic structures of Persian poetry. Two examples show the influence of the children's poetry on the method of inferring Muslim jurisprudents.
