Mohammed and his immediate successors, Abu Bekr, Omar, Othman and Ali (622-661) succeeded in inspiring the free sons of the desert, together with the more civilized inhabitants of the coast-lands, with enthusiasm for a joint enterprise.

The poets were the 'men of knowledge' for their people. In speech and poetry, however, the unity of the Arab nation was set forth to some extent even before Mohammed's time.
