Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JARIR IBN 'ATTYYA UL-KHATFI (d. 728), Arabian poet, was born in the reign of the
caliph
  `Ali, was a member of the tribe Kulaib, a
part
  of the Tamim, and lived in Irak. Of his early
life
  little is known, but he succeeded in winning the favour of Hajjaj, the
governor
  of Irak (see
CALIPHATE
 ). Already famous for his verse, he became more widely known by his
feud
  with
Farazdaq
  and
Akhtal
 . Later he went to Damascus and visited the
court
  of Abdalmalik ('Abd ul-Malik) and that of his successor, Walid. From neither of these did he receive a warm welcome. He was, however, more successful with Omar II., and was the only poet received by the pious
caliph
 .
His verse, which, like that of his contemporaries, is largely
satire
  and eulogy, was published in 2 vols. (Cairo, 1896). (G. W. T.)
