'Abd-Allah ibn 'Anamah

'Abdallah ibn 'Anamah belonged to the same stock as Rabi'ah ibn Maqrum, his contemporary. Lyall says he quarrelled with his tribe and attached himself to the chiefs of Shaiban, to which his mother's family belonged.

He was constant in his devotion to Bistam ibn Qais and wrote a much-admired elegy upon him.
