In the same context, we chose two oppositions, “The one who thickened the sky” for the divide and “the one from the house” by Jarir as a model and compared their poetic style through the statistical method to show the extent of their literature and their superiority according to Bozeman's statistical equation. The article concluded that the style of both poets in their alphabetical oppositions is literary, but the degree of emotion, dynamism and literary excitement in their poetic style varies as the opposite of Jarir was more literary than the opposite of Farazdaq.
