Labīd
Labīd ibn Rabīʿa Abū ʿAqīl al-ʿĀmirī ( Arabic لبيد بن ربيعة بن مالك أبو عقيل العامري, Labīd or Labīd ibn Rabīʿa for short , * around 560; † around 661 in Kufa ) was a poet from the Bedouin tribe of the Jafar. This belonged to the Banū ʿĀmir b. Saʿsaʿa, who in turn were a subgroup of the Hawāzin tribe. The Jafar lived in the western part of the Najd .
According to tradition, Labīd is said to have prevented Prince Nuʿmān II in al-Hīra from withdrawing favor from his tribe as a young man by means of a satire written in rajāz meter .
In 630, Labīd is said to have converted to Islam after meeting the Prophet Mohammed in Medina . According to Brockelmann , some of his poems have Islamic influences, so he assumes that Labīd continued to write after his conversion.
The surviving works of Labīd are mainly summarized in his Dīwān . One of his Qasīds was also included in the Muʿallaqāt , a collection of highly regarded ancient Arabic poems.
