Abu al-Walīd Muslim ibn al-Walīd al-Anṣārī, also known as Ṣarī‘ al-Ghawānī, was among the finest poets of the early Abbasid period, and mawla of the Ansar. As worded by Hilary Kilpatrick, he was patronized by Abbasid dignitaries, one of the first masters of the "refined" badiʿ style, best known for wine and love songs, also composed panegyrics.
