Yemenite Swords 🇾🇪 السيوف اليمانية

السيوف اليمانية منسوبه لليمن وقد استمد السيف اليماني عراقته من عراقة منشئه اليمن ويبدو لمن اطلع على تراث العرب القديم، أن الإنسان في اليمن كان صانعا حاذقا، ومهنيا ماهراء لذا فإنني أجرؤ على القول إن أهل اليمن كانوا أكثر فئات العرب قدرة على الإبداع، ولذلك لا أجد غرابة إذا كانوا قد صنعوا سيفاً متميزا قويا ذا صفات عالية، ومزايا مختارة، استجادها الخبراء، ومحترفو القتال، ومحبو خوض غمار الحروب، وإنني لأجدهم أعني أهل اليمن جديرين بأن يصنعوا مثل هذا السيف الرائع القوي ذي المزايا الحربية المرموقة .. قال العباس بن عبد المطلب يشيد بالسيف اليماني:

وزعناهم وزع الخوامس غدوة بكل يماني إذا عض صمما

كذلك لا يوجد وصف للسيوف اليمانية كوصف ابن نباته السعدي في قوله :

وهل ينفعُ الفتيانَ حسنُ جسومِهِمْ إذا كانت الأعراضُ غيرَ حِسانِ فلا تجعل الحسنَ الدليلَ على الفتى فما كلُّ مصقولِ الحديدِ يمانِ

انواع السيوف اليمانية خمسه وهي كالآتي :

1- سيف الصمصام : مستقيم النصل ذو حدين لا ينثني هو السيف المصمم على إفناء ضريبته، ولا ينثني عنها

والصمصامة أيضا اسم السيف المنسوب إلى عمرو بن معدكرب الزبيدي فارس اليمن الشهير يذكره في ابيات :

أيوعدني سعد وفي الكف صارم سيمنع مني أن أذل وأخضعا فوالله لولا اللهُ لا شَيْء غَيْرُهُ لجللته الصمصام أو يتقطعا

كذلك لأبي عبادة البحتري

يسخو البخيل إذ رآك بنفسه والنكس يَمْلأُ مضرب الصمصام

كذلك الفرزدق

ولن يُقدِّم نفساً قبل ميتتها جَمْعُ اليدين ولا الصمصامةُ الذَّكَرُ

2- سيف الاخثم : مستقيم و غليظ النصل ذو حدين ينثني والأختم من السيوف ما كان عريض المتن

كقول العجاج الرَّاجِز

دارت رحانا ورحاهم ترتمي بالموت من حد الصفيح الأخثم

وكقول الفرزدق

وكل بيضاء مثل النهي محكمة وكُلُّ أَخْثَمَ قَطَّاعِ لَهُ شَطَبٌ

3- سيف المهند : مستقيم و رقيق النصل ذو حدين ينثني وشفرتا السيف حَدَاهُ وطَرَفَاهُ الرَّقيقان الحادان

يُذكر بالأدب العربي

بقول وَذَاكَ بن تميل المازني

مقاديمُ وصَّالُونَ في الرَّوعِ خَطْوَهم بِكُلِّ رَقِيقِ الشَّفَرَتَيْنِ يَمَانِ

كذلك أبي الهيدام المري

سأبكيك بالبيض الرقاق وبالقنا فإن بها ما يدرك الماجد الوترا

واخيراً عمرو بن معدكرب الزبيدي

بفتيانِ إِذا فَزِعُوا تَرَدَّوْا بِكُلِّ مُهَنَّدٍ عَضْبٍ يَمَانِ

4- سيف الصفيحه : مستقيم و عريض النصل ذو حدين ينثني و الصَّفيحَةُ السيف ذو المَتْنِ العريض ذُكر في صحيح البخاري استخدام خالد بن الوليد للصفيحة اليمانية في يوم مؤتة بقوله :«حدثنا أبو نعيم: حدثنا سفيان، عن إسماعيل، عن قيس بن أبي حازم، قال: سمعت خالد بن الوليد يقول: لقد انقطعت في يدي يوم مؤتة تسعة أسياف، فما بقي في يدي إلا صفيحة يمانية.

وتم ذكرها في الأدب العربي

بقول المثقب العبدي

بكل مقصي وكل صفيحة تَتَابَعُ بَعْدَ الحارثي خدودها

عنترة العبسي

ودرنا كما دارت على قطبها الرَّحَى ودارت على هام الرجال الصفائح

ابو تمام

بِيضُ الصفائح لا سودُ الصَحائِفِ في متونهنّ جلاء الشَّك والرّيب

5- سيف المشمل : مستقيم و قصير النصل ذو حدين ينثني والسيف المشمل سيفٌ قصيرٌ يخبّئه حاملُه في ثيابه

ملاحظه المشمل يستطيع الرجل ان يشتمل عليه بثوبه كون صناعه الازياء في اليمن تكمن في ان كم الثياب كبيره يسمى ثياب مذلقه او ابو ذلايق وله اسما أخرى كذلك راجع ازياء اليمن التراثيه.

Is it possible to give up Yemen citizenship?

I am a dual citizen, Yemen and another country that does not allow dual citizenships. The other country is somehow okay me having Yemen citizenship because the Yemeni constitution apparently does not permit giving up the citizenship.

Having said that, I read the news that the ministry of expatriate affairs can take citizenship renunciation for a fee https://marebpress.net/news_details.php?sid=48706

The reason I want to give up Yemen citizenship is that whenever I tick the box of having a second citizenship specifically Yemen, it usually leads to extra investigation- i just want peace of mind.

Thank you

Urgent help required with frankincense

I'm a beginner with frankincense. And just tried to extinguish the charcoal disc under the tap in the hotel bathroom. It's got no strainer and it fell in . It's like the size of a toffee. I've run the cold tap for five minutes. Will that be enough to extinguish or will I be paying for a new pipe in the morning 😭😅

Gift Ideas for a Yemeni-American friend

I go to get a soda every morning from a Jack in the box fast food restaurant here in the USA. The manager of the restaurant immigrated from Yemen in 1995. He is about 50 or so. He is single has 2 children one of which sadly passed last year.

Every morning we talk about everything from politics to religion to music and we occasionally go get coffee. His friendship has enlightened me immensely. As a veteran of the Afghanistan war he has helped me deal with a lot of the demons that haunt me from my time in the war.

I would like to find him a gift to thank him for his friendship and mentorship. Something under $1000 usd. I don't want to offend him or offer a gift that is out of place.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

K1 visa - muslim ban

I am an American citizen and my fiance, who is currently in Yemen, is a Yemeni citizen.

We were planning on applying for his k1 visa.

Are there any Yemenis who were able to bring their fiancés to the USA during Trump's last travel ban?

I know that close family members, including Fiancés, were allowed. But I am very nervous.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Need inquiry on migrating/visiting to The Netherlands

Hi guys

I have seen and heard of countless Yemenis going to the Netherlands, and I wonder how they get there.

Are they all seeking asylums or is there a special visa for us Yemenis?

I would appreciate any info on this issue.
