In his youth he travelled to Hira and Damascus , then settled in Medina, where, after the advent of Mohammed , he accepted Islam and wrote poems in defence of the prophet. He was one of the best poets of the time, who would often win poetry competitions and the like (similar to 'playing dozens'.) He was a prime example of how the early Muslims were able to use their "pre-Islam" talents for the cause of Islam. |
