Overview

Waki' ibn Hassan al-Tamimi, of the Banu Ghudana ibn Yarbu' ibn Handhala, mentioned by al-Baladhuri in Futuh al-Buldan 1.

Against Qutayba

al-Baladhuri reports that al-Hudayn ibn al-Mundhir recommended him to the people of Khurasan to fight Qutayba. He thought that he alone could manage the matter, because he was a rough Bedouin whom his tribe obeyed, and Qutayba had killed the Banu al-Ahtham, whose blood they were seeking 1.

He gave them his hand and they pledged allegiance to him. The envoy between him and them was Hayyan, client of Mustasal 1.

His end needs an additional source.

Jahm ibn Zahr al-Ju'fi

Jahm ibn Zahr al-Ju'fi, Yazid ibn al-Muhallab's champion; he retook breached Jurjan, then led the hide-ladder ascent of Wajah — 'if I am spared life, let me not be spared death' — killed the gate-keepers, raised the takbir behind the enemy at mid-afternoon, and drove the captives to Wadi Jurjan where they were slaughtered till the blood ran.
