Muraqqish the Younger

Rabi'ah ibn Sufyan, called Muraqqish the Younger, was the nephew of Muraqqish the Elder and paternal uncle of Tarafah. Lyall says he is reckoned a better poet than his uncle and was longer-lived.

Like him he took part in the war of al-Basus and is chiefly celebrated as the hero of a love-story, which Lyall connects with Fatimah, daughter of King al-Mundhir III of al-Hirah.
