Abstract This paper deals with Assumption of famous poet al-farazdag when he said that his grandfather gave life for girls whom their fathers intend to bury them after their Birthday. A habit which some Arabs might have done in the pre-Islamic era. His contemporary and component famous poet Jarir denies every thing that Farazdag said. In the book of polemic poems (Nak,td). Jarir denies everthing except what farazdag has stated proudly regarding his grandfather. This study presents several questions in order to find out why Jarir did not speak out on his matter? Is there any reason behind his negligence of this matter? Usually Jarir denies all of Farazdag says even when it is an accomplished facts.
