text: Saj‘ is a form of rhymed prose described as the oldest form of artistic speech in Arabic, appearing in pre-Islamic Arabia. Saj' was also the dominant artistic speech in Abyssinia, both in the ecclesiastical poetry in Ge'ez and Old Amharic folk songs. A single clause or phrase in saj' is can be called a sajʿah, or a faṣl (fuṣūl), or a fiqrah, or a qarīnah. Saj' has received its name because of its evenness or monotony, or from a fancied resemblance between its rhythm and the cooing of a dove. Cha
