المقامات النظرية: للأديب أبي بكر محسن باعبود الحضرمي (من علماء القرن الثاني عشر)/ تحقيق: عبدالله محمد الحبشي

هذا الكتاب ربما يتبادر إلى ذهن القارئ العربي أن فن (المقامات) بقي مرهوناً بيراع الهمذاني والحريري حسب؛ لكنما ذلك إغفال محض. فلقد جادت قرائح الأدباء من بعدهما - جرياً على سنة التقليد - لأحياء تراث أدبي ما فتئ يعد النواة الأولى لفن القصة العربية في أدب العصر الحديث. لقد أنبتت أرض حضرموت اليمن شتلة ( با عبود) الحضرمي في المقامة، ولم يجن ثمارها إلا في أرض (الهند) التي جعلها مسرحاً لروايته وبطله، فأتت أكلها في حينها ، وظلت تجود في كل حين.

Includes 50 short stories. The art of maqamat in Arabic literature is a unique prose genre, representing a short story revolving around a cunning hero and a narrator, characterized by its rhymed and ornate style. Here are the key points about this art: Origins and Pioneers: Badi' al-Zaman al-Hamadhani (4th century AH) is considered the first innovator of this art, followed by Abu Muhammad al-Qasim al-Hariri, who brought it to its artistic peak. The Arab reader might assume that the art of maqamat remained solely dependent on the pens of al-Hamadhani and al-Hariri; however, this is a complete oversight. The literary talents of those who followed them—in keeping with the tradition—produced a revival of a literary heritage that continues to be considered the first nucleus of the Arabic story in modern literature. The land of Hadhramaut in Yemen nurtured the seedling of Ba Aboud al-Hadrami in the maqama, and its fruits were reaped only in the land of India, which he made the stage for his narrative and his hero. It bore fruit in its time and has continued to yield fruit ever since
