Mutammim ibn Nuwairah

Mutammim ibn Nuwairah was a chief, with his elder brother Malik, of the Yarbu' branch of Tamim. Malik was put to death by Khalid ibn al-Walid after the fight at al-Butah in A.H. 11, and Mutammim lamented him in elegies, among them Ode LXVII; Ode IX is also attributed to Malik himself.

Lyall explains that 'Mutammim' is properly a title from the game of Maisir, designating a man who takes on several portions of a slaughtered camel.
