They were not born with such features and characteristics but it was inevitable fate that their tribe condemned and gave them as a gift. “Urwah bin Al-Vard” is one of the pre-Islamic out-casted and chivalrous poets who is different from other out-casted people and poets of that period in characteristics and behaviours as well as poetic styles. He is a poet that due to his special attention to the poor and needy, especially out-casted ones were known as “Arwa Al-Saalik” and “Abu Al-Saalik”. This study aims to examine Saalik (out-casted) in his poetries has been written and tries to eliminate slanders that were made to this liberal and chivalrous people from their suffering face thus seek the main factors of this phenomenon in society itself.
