Abdallah ibn Amr al-Kawsaj

Abd Allah ibn Amr al-Thaqafi, known as al-Kawsaj. Al-Baladhuri says that "Kawsajan" belonged to Abu Bakra, and his brother Nafi' disputed it with him. Al-Kawsaj came out to them both and said that he saw them disputing, and asked that they make him their arbitrator. When they did, he said that he had judged it for himself, and they handed it over to him. ¹

The report adds, in the form "it is said", that he asked them for a drink of wine the size of a leap, and he leapt thirty cubits. ¹
