Capitalization
I'm curious: Why are the words capitalized? -- Pete Scholtes

About the verses
I noticed terrible errors (i fixed it) in writing the verses (or copying them), which is completely unacceptable on two counts:

1- It is something that violates the laws of Wikipedia, which stipulate that it is not permissible to distort or modify the original texts.

2-It is something that is rejected by Muslims and is considered a crime, considering that the Qur’an is the word of God sent down from heaven, as there is no change or distortion in it, so you do not want problems.. aren't you ?

Therefore, if you have any other articles that contain problems with the verses or seem unknown and incomprehensible, please specify “Arab Muslim” who has an Arabic keyboard and understands Arabic and does not distort.

Or you can hire me instead because I am almost free for this, thx for reading Nazuna BNA (talk) 18:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Laqit bin Amar
@أنون The Brill Encyclopedia of Islam says that the personality of Lakit remains highly confused, and it is hardly possibl[e] exactly to fix the period when he was living, though it was probably during the second half of the 6th century AD. I know that there are a wide variety of dates given, but please provide your sources for discussion. I also know that Noldeke mentions a textual question re "salaam" but Brill seems (via Goldziher, cited on page) to assume it's correct. If you know of other modern discussion would be great.

 * @GordonGlottal Most sources in Arabic tend to agree that Lakit lived in the same timespan as either Shapur II or Khosrow II, but it appears that the majority of sources lean towards the second claim (6th century).
 * According to Brill: This sketch of the events is principally based on the information provided by Abū l-Faraj al-Iṣfahānī (d. 356/967) in his Kitāb al-aghānī; other sources differ from it in almost every regard, such as the many forms of his father’s name. All essential facts about him—the dates of his birth and death, his family and environment, his education and profession—are lacking.
 * As for the salam, the only source provided to support the claim I removed was Noldeke's Orient und Occident vol. I p.708, which mentions nothing regarding the salam greeting or the fixed timespan when Lakit was alive, it only quotes the poem. I would consider that to be original research without citing Goldziher's claims.
 * Brill (supported by Goldziher) claims that The expressions which could be used were salām or salām ʿalaykum (-ka) or al-salām ʿalaykum, that means salam, salamu alaykum, and as-salamu alaykum are all categorized as salam greetings. The article should clarify that salam in Lakit's context isn't the same as-salamu alaikum, which has no evidence of being used prior to Islam. Anwon (talk) 15:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Can you suggest some language? As a reminder, we currently say The use of salaam as an Arabic greeting dates at least to Laqit bin Yamar al-Ayadi (6th century). Re citing Noldeke, I included it directly to help readers find the original if they're interested. Not to use it as a source really, just to provide the link for any researchers who want to go back to the poem itself. What I meant about a textual issue is that Noldeke in the footnote there says that کتاب is the better reading. But "salam" appears in a number of other books besides Brill's encyclopedia. Don't know what Noldeke's reason is. GordonGlottal (talk) 04:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
