Maqqas ibn 'Amr

Maqqas ibn 'Amr, whose proper name was Mus-hir, belonged to the 'A'idhah, a branch of the Quraish descended from Khuzaimah, and became an adherent of Shaiban. Lyall calls him a contemporary of the Prophet.

His two odes praise Shaiban and the victory of the Bakrite tribe of 'Ijl at Falj.
