al-Kalhabah

Hubairah ibn 'Abd-Manaf, called al-Kalhabah, belonged to a subdivision of the tribe of Yarbu' ibn Handhalah, a branch of Tamim, and had settled at Zarud among the men of Malik ibn Handhalah.

Lyall gives the occasion of Ode II: the tribe of Malik was raided by men of Taghlib, and the poet pursued them on his mare 'Aradah, 'the Locust'. Ode III, in the same vein, praises the mare.
