Ibn Al-Nataah mentioned that he was a freed slave of Banu 'Aqil, his origin and origin in Kufa. The reason he was named Ajrad is that a Bedouin passed by him on a very cold day while he was playing with children and was almost naked, so he said to him: "Become bare, oh so-and-so," and the one who becomes bare is the one who is stripped. Others said otherwise. His father and grandfather before him used to sharpen arrows, so he took up his father's profession, though some denied this. He was initially a teacher and a poet of Al-Rabi' al-Awwal, and one of the writers of messages. He is considered among the veterans of the Umayyad and Abbasid states, but he became more famous during the Abbasid era. His date of death has varied greatly, but Yaquut al-Hamawi confirmed that he died in 161 AH. News of Hamad Ajrad and his lineage His lineage: He is Hamad bin Yahya bin Omar bin Kulaib, known as Abu Omar, a freed slave of Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah. Ibn Al-Nataah mentioned that he was a freed slave of Banu Siraah, and Suleiman bin Abi Shaykh, from Salih bin Suleiman, said he was a freed slave of Banu 'Aqil, originating from Kufa. He used to sharpen arrows, though some said his father was an arrow-maker, and he earned no trade other than poetry. Salih bin Suleiman said: Hamad Ajrad's uncle was known as Muwannis bin Kulaib, who had a dignified appearance, and his cousin was 'Amara bin Hamza bin Kulaib. They moved from Kufa and settled in Wasit. Hamad was among the veterans of the Umayyad and Abbasid states, but he was not as famous in the Umayyad days as he was in the Abbasid days. He was a libertine and immoral, suspected of religion, and accused of heresy. His father was a freed slave of Banu Hind. Bashar insulted him, and I was told by my uncle who said: Ahmed bin Abi Tahir told me: Abu Dhu'ama said: Aasim bin Aflah bin Malik bin Asma' said: Yahiya Abu Hamad Ajrad was a freed slave of Banu Hind bin Asma' bin Khawaja. He was a trustee for her in her estate in the Swaad. Hind bore from Bishr bin Marwan, Abdul Malik bin Bishr. When Abdul Malik freed the slaves of his mother’s loyalty, they became his slaves. He said: When Hamad Ajrad's father was in Swaad on her estate, Bashar reproached him for her, saying: And strengthen your hands with Hamad Abu Omar, for he is a Nabatean from Zunabir. He was nicknamed Ajrad by 'Amr bin Sindi, a freed slave of Taqif, because of the saying about him: I glorify a mare riding him, amazed by you, a disappointment for the traveler. I thought he saw him as a great one, carrying Ajrad, the adulterer and fornicator. For a time, he rode on a camel and stopped it at the gate of the prince. Is there good in him for a small one of us or for a big one? Who chooses a man, oh the one who is bound by his secrets, with a great face? And I swear by Allah, I am free of you, O 'Aqda al-Kull, openly, and that is little from me. He spread these lines for Bashar among the people, replacing "I am busy with one" with "I am busy with one," to justify heresy and disbelief in Allah Almighty. The lines circulated until they reached Bashar, who was disturbed and changed them, and he was distressed, saying: The son of a fornicator cried over him with my blood, and by Allah, I only said: I am busy with one, so he changed it, and it became famous among people, which would destroy me. Bashar came to him I was told by Muhammad bin Al-Abbas Al-Yazidi: He narrated to us Suleiman bin Abi Shaykh: He told us Salih bin Suleiman Al-Khath'ami: It was said to 'Abdullah bin Yasin: Bashar the Murrath insulted Hamad and discredited him. 'Abdullah said: I saw Hamad's grandfather, who was called Kulaib, and his craft was a craft in which Nabateans do not engage; he used to sharpen arrows and feather them, and he was called Kulaib the Archer, a freed slave of Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah. Insulting Bashar and his friend Salim I was told by Ahmed bin Al-Abbas Al-Askari, the educator: He narrated to us Al-Hassan bin 'Ail, who said: Bashar was a friend of Salim bin Salim, a freed slave of Banu Sa'd. During Al-Mansur’s days, when he was hiding in Basra, he stayed with Salim bin Salim, and Abu Jafar appointed him when the Sūs and Jundisapor invaded. Hamad Ajrad joined him, and he spoiled Bashar for him. Bashar insulted them: "Last night, Salim in the land of Sūs, elevated in his pride, after the west, and Midad. There is no bliss, even if we weigh it, except the bliss of Salim, then Hamad, Nika, and Naka." He did not realize that Bashar was saying the dualist doctrine of worshiping two, and they parted ways, remaining confused. It was also said about Hamad, and Bashar attributed it to him: "He is the son of Nahiya, the heavy head of Ali, and the burden of heads is a great calamity." Bashar also spread these lines among people, replacing "I am busy with one" with "I am busy with one," to justify heresy and disbelief in Allah, making people think he worshiped two heads, which is false. The poem was circulated until it reached Bashar, who was disturbed and changed it, and he was distressed, saying: The son of a fornicator cried over him with my blood, and by Allah, I only said: I am busy with one, so he changed it, and it became famous among people, which would destroy me.
