Fishburn and Hughes: "From al-Mu'allaqat, Arabic for 'the suspended ones': a term denoting a collection of seven poems by seven authors preserved by oral tradition from pre-Islamic times. Because of their outstanding quality, they were hung on the walls of Islam's most sacred shrine, the Ka'ba in Mecca. See Zuhair." (132)
