Overview

One of the shaykhs of the people of Daybul. Al-Baladhuri counts him among those who related the story of the Dhat al-Lujum. 1

In it, the companions of Habib let their mounts go, and the Byzantines were quicker than them to the bridles, so the Muslims charged back against them, killed them and recovered them. 1
