The poetry collection of Labid bin Rabi'ah Al-Amiri

Labid ibn Rabi'ah ibn Malik Al-Amiri, Abu 'Aqil (around 30 AH – 41 AH / 593 AD – 661 AD), poet and knight from the nobility of the Jahiliyyah, and one of the poets of the Mu'allaqat. Born in the highlands of Najd, raised in an environment of generosity and bravery, he was among the most eloquent poets and warriors of his tribe. He embraced Islam, converted, and visited the Prophet ﷺ, and is considered one of the companions and those whose hearts were softened (by Islam). After converting, he abandoned poetry, and only one verse is reported to have been said by him in Islam: "The generous man does not blame except himself, and the good company is what rectifies him." He was famous for his lavish generosity, to the extent that it was said he vowed that no breeze would blow except he would sacrifice and feed. He settled in Kufa in his later years, lived a long life, and died there in 41 AH. His most famous poem is his Mu'allaqa, which begins: "The lands have become uninhabitable, their place is in Mina, their curse has become eternal, and their reins." Dar Sadir
