Yazid ibn al-Khadhdhaq

Yazid ibn al-Khadhdhaq belonged to the Shann division of 'Abd al-Qais, on the north-western shore of the Persian Gulf. Lyall notes that Ode LXXVIII is sometimes ascribed to his brother Suwaid.

Both of his pieces defy an-Nu'man Abu Qabus (circa A.D. 582-605), who tried to levy taxation from the tribe.
