'Uttab ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi

Attab ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi, whom al-Mas'udi mentions in the report on al-Walid ibn Uqba ².

al-Mas'udi reports that al-Walid ibn Uqba led the people in the dawn prayer with four units while he was drunk, and then said to them: "Do you want me to add more for you?" Attab answered him with harsh words, and said that he was not surprised except by the one who had sent him to them as governor ².

His lineage, the dates of his life and his role need an additional source.
