Jadaka al-Ghaithu

Jadaka al-Ghaithu (Arabic: جَادَكَ الغَيْثُ "Good Rain Would Befit You") is an Andalusi Arabic muwashshah by Ibn al-Khatib.^[1]

It was written as a madīh (مديح "panegyric") of Sultan Muhammad V of Granada.^[2] Abd al-Halim Husayn Harrut estimates it was written in the Hijri year 769 (1367-1368) or shortly thereafter, due to the presence of the phrase al-ghanī billah (الغني بالله), a moniker used for Muhammad V after a number of victories over the Crown of Castile, the last of which occurred around 1367–1368.^[2]

It is notable piece in Andalusi literature in general and the repertoire of the muwashshah genre in particular;^[1] it has been performed by musicians such as Fairuz.^[3]^[4]
