In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, a group of brave men rebelled against the tribal system, rejecting poverty, classism, and racism. They sought a better system for distributing wealth. They were the vagabond poets. Among them were Ta'abbat Sharra, Urwah ibn al-Ward, al-Sulayk, and al-Shanfara... Some accused them of being mere thieves and bandits, while others saw them as a group of brave revolutionaries. This episode explores how the vagabonds emerged, the reasons for their emergence, their various groups, sects, poetry, wars, victories, and defeats... It is the story of the vagabonds in pre-Islamic times, from their inception to their demise.
