Bishr ibn Abi Khazim

Bishr ibn Abi Khazim of Asad was, in Lyall's words, the most considerable poet of his tribe during the century before the Prophet. He was a contemporary of Hatim of Tayyi', of an-Nabighah of Dhubyan and of King an-Nu'man Abu Qabus.

Lyall mentions the battle of an-Nisar, about A.D. 575, as a point of time in his career.
