Jadaka al-Ghaithu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jadaka al-Ghaithu (Arabic: جَادَكَ الغَيْثُ "Good Rain Would Befit You") is a muwashshah attributed to Ibn al-Khatīb.[1][2][3] It was written as a madīh (مديح "panegyric") of Sultan Muhammad V of Granada.[4] ʻAbd al-Ḥalīm Ḥusayn Harrūṭ estimates it was written in the Hijri year 769 (1367-1368) or shortly thereafter, due to the presence of the phrase al-ghanī billah (الغني بالله), a moniker used for Muhammad V after a number of victories over the Catholic kingdoms, the last of which occurred around 1367-1368.[4]

Ibn al-Khatīb (1313 - 1374), an Andalusi poet and polymath, lived between al-Andalus and Morocco as a result of political exile.[5]

It is notable piece in Andalusi literature in general and the repertoire of the muwashshah genre in specific;[2] it has been performed by musicians such as Fairuz.[3][6]
