Overview

Al-Fatammash ibn al-A'war ibn Amr al-Dabbi, a poet. 1

Al-Baladhuri gives a verse of his about the fortress of al-Farkhan in al-Rayy, in which he calls down a curse on the "jawsaq" that shines on its top, from which the call to prayer is given. 1

His life and the rest of his poetry need an additional source.
