De bel ‘s poetic language depicts the legitimacy of the discourse of the Imamate, by depicting the legitimacy, competence, and at the same time the oppression of the infallibles, may God bless them and grant them peace, and exposing the injustices, betrayals, inadequacies, and cruelty and injustice of the Abbasid rulers. . De bel’s revolutionary action is in such a way that instead of a language full of mystery and obscurantism; By using clear and straightforward odes, he targeted a large audience in the vast Muslim lands of his time.
