Al-Muhalhil

Abu Layla ʿUday ibn Rabīʿa ibn al-Ḥāriṯ at-Taghlibī (;  443 – 531 CE), also known by the nicknames al-Muhalhil ("he who finely weaves poems") and az-Zīr Sālim ("the philander"), was an Arabic pre-Islamic poet and warrior born in Najd. He led the Banu Taghlib tribe in the forty-year long War of Basus.

He was known for having a handsome appearance and an eloquent tongue. In his youth he devoted himself to amusement and courting women, which led his brother Kulaib to call him “Zīr al-nisāʾ” (the companion of women). When Jassās ibn Murrah killed Kulaib, al-Muhalhil rose in anger and abandoned drinking and leisure until he could avenge his brother. This led to the famous conflicts between Bakr and Taghlib, which continued for many years and in which al-Muhalhil played a prominent role. Provided by Wikipedia
