ZUHAIR
  (ABU-L FADL
ZUHAIR
  IBN MAHOMMED AL-MUHALLABI) (1186-1258), Arabian poet, was born at or near Mecca, and became celebrated as the best writer of
prose
  and verse and the best calligraphist of his time. He ehtered the service of Malik u-Salib Najm ud-Din in
Mesopotamia
 , and was with him at Damascus until he was betrayed and imprisoned. Bella ud-Din then retired to Nablus (Shechem) where he remained until Najm ud-DIn escaped and obtained possession of
Egypt
 , whither he accompanied him in 1240. There he remained as the
sultan
 's confidential secretary until his death, due to an epidemic, in 1258. His poetry consists mostly of panegyric and brilliant occasional verse distinguished for its elegance. It has been published with
English
  metrical
translation
  by E. H. Palmer (2 vols.,
Cambridge
 , 1877).
His
life
  was written by his contemporary Ibn Khallikan (see M'G. de Slane's trans. of his Biographical Dictionary, vol. i. PP- 542-545) (G. W. T.)
