description Tabaqat Fuhul Al-Shu‘ara (Classes of Champion Poets) of Ibn Sallam AlJumahi, one of the leading examples of literary criticism, is commonly referred to as a biography or literary history book. Although Ibn Sallam’s work contains a lot of historical data with objective and clear criteria, he debates topics like originality and imitation in the introduction of his book, and the idea of the classes of champion poets indicates that he basically implemented an activity of pure literary criticism. Based on this inference, our study aims to test the claim that Tabaqat is a primary source that had been applied in the art of literary criticism, and accordingly, it analyzes Ibn Sallam’s contribution to Arabic literary criticism. Therefore, a qualitative research method was used, and data were analyzed through content and descriptive analysis. Thus, the data on the aspect of Tabaqat, being related to literary criticism, were collected and evaluated from a different perspective than in previous studies.
