ʿArūḍ or Arud (Arabic: العروضal-ʿarūḍ) is often called the
Science of Poetry (Arabic: علم الشعرʿilm aš-šiʿr). Its laws were
laid down by Al-Farahidi (786 - 718 AC), an early Arab
lexicographer and philologist, who did so after noticing that
poems consisted of repeated syllables in each verse. He wrote
his first book, Al-Ard, describing 15 types of verses. It is
said that he used to climb down into a well in order to enjoy
the poems during his study. Later Al-Akhfash al-Akbar described
a 16th meter, al-Mutadārik.  Short definition of ʿArūḍ[edit]
ʿArūḍ is the study of poetic meters, which identifies the meter
of a poem and determines whether the meter is sound or broken in
lines of the poem.  The source of ʿArūḍ[edit]  The study of
ʿarūḍ began within the first century AH in a region called ʿArūḍ
near Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which is why it was called ʿArūḍ.
