Overview
Bustam ibn Qays ibn Mas'ud al-Shaybani, kunya Abu al-Sahba', called Dhu al-Jaddayn, lord of the Banu Shayban in the pre-Islamic age. 2
His reports
Ibn al-Athir says that he raided the Banu Dabba and took the camels of Malik ibn al-Muntafiq. 2
He was killed on the day of al-Shaqiqa, when he was at the back of the people protecting his companions on his dark horse called al-Za'faran. Much poetry was composed about him, and the common people said: "On the day of al-Ifaqa, they submitted Bustam." 2
