Résumé :

One of the main episodes of the Sīrat ʿAntar is the one where ʿAntar decides to hang his muʿallaqa on the Kaaba of Mecca. In this passage the storyteller use these very famous poems as literary devices to satisfy the audience. The sīra doesn't use to incorporate this kind of fixed texts in its narration, so it is interesting to analyse the way the author puts these odes on. However, it appears that this episode also assumes a historiographical role which is essential in order to be fully understood. We aim to shed light on both the literary and the historiographical aspects of this excerpt.
