More information on the original Burda: La QaSîda al-Burda (Arabic: قصيدة البردة), also known by the French name "Poème du Mantle" is an ode to prayer dedicated to the Prophet of Islam that was composed by the Sufi Imam Sharaf-eddin Mohammed ben Sa'ïd, ben Hammâd, ben Mohsin, ben Sanhâdj, ben Hilâl es Sanhâdji) (1212-1296) from Egypt. It is based on the mode of the classical qasida of Kaâb ibn Zouhaïr. It was composed at the dawn of Islam, as a proof of his conversion. In exchange for this poem, the Prophet Muhammad offered him his burda, or coat.

Imam Sharaf ad-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad Busiri wrote in his Qasida Burda that: “If it had not been for the Prophet of God (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) then the world would not exist”.

'Allama Khalid Azhari, commenting on the Burda, says: "It is because of the Prophet of God (sallallahu' alaihi wasallam) that the world was brought from the state of non-existence to that of existence" .

This poem was, during the lifetime of its author, considered sacred, and still occupies a special place in Islam today: its verses are worn as amulets, recited in lamentations for the deceased, and interpolated by many other poems. It was translated into French by René Basset, who was professor of letters at the University of Algiers, dates from 1894 and is entitled La Bordah de Cheikh El Bousiri, published by E. Leroux editions in Paris.

El Bousiri was born, according to some, in Aboukir, around Dilâs, according to others, on the first day of Chaouâl 608 (March 7, 1212). Living in Belbéis as a grammarian and copyist, he was a disciple of the famous Sufi Abou'l'Abbàs Ahmed el Marsi and became the most illustrious "traditionalist" doctor of his time. He died in the years 694-697 AH (1294-1298) and his tomb was placed near that of Imâm Ech Chaféi. His nicknames Ed Dilâsi and El Bousiri are sometimes combined under the name Ed Dilasiri.
