Final answer:

There is no historical record of Ibn Sina, Rumi, Hafez, or Abu Nuwas being tortured and blinded by the Abbasid Caliph due to devotion to the Imams. Thus, a correct answer from the given options cannot be provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poet who was tortured and blinded by the Abbasid Caliph due to his love and devotion to the Imams is not explicitly listed among the options provided (Rumi, Hafez, Ibn Sina, or Abu Nuwas). Hence, based on the provided information and historical context, it's not possible to confidently provide a correct answer from the options given. However, to provide a bit of context, while Ibn Sina (Avicenna) was indeed a philosopher and produced poetry, there is no historical record of him being blinded by the Abbasid Caliph for his devotion to the Imams. Ibn Sina was known more for his contributions to medicine, philosophy, and the sciences. Similarly, while Rumi and Hafez were indeed poets, they were not known to be blinded by the Abbasid Caliph either. Abu Nuwas was a prolific court poet known for his witty and controversial verses, but again, there is no record of him being persecuted by the Abbasid Caliph in this manner.
