'Alqamah ibn 'Abadah
'Alqamah ibn 'Abadah, called al-Fahl, belonged to Tamim. Lyall calls his two odes among the most celebrated in ancient Arabic literature and says that the first can be fixed to the year and month in which it was composed.
Beyond these and one other long poem, a legend connects him with Imra' al-Qais.
