لقيط بن زرارة

Abu Hanzala Laqit ibn Zurara ibn Ads ibn Tha'laba ibn Yarbu' al-Tamimi, lord of the Banu Darim. ²

He was present on that day against Tamim and al-Rabab. He came on a brocade-covered mule, with a gilded saddle of the saddles of Kisra; according to the report, he was the first Arab to be brought out in this manner. ²

An altercation took place between him and Shurayh ibn al-Ahwas, and his horse plunged into a ravine. Shurayh stabbed him, and he fell. As he died he recalled his wife Dukhtanus in verses. The report says that the Banu Abs struck him while he was dead, and Dukhtanus said a saying about this, which reached her. ²
