Another criticism that Ibn Jinni levels at the poet relates to his excessive repetition of certain words. "I told him, you use tha (this) and thi (this) a great deal in your poetry." al-Mutanabbi responds that the poetry was not all composed at one and the same time. According to Khulusi, Ibn Jinni did not simply accept the material that he was presented with but meticulously scrutinised every verse in terms of its language and its aesthetic quality.[1][2]
