KUMAIT IBN ZAID (679-743)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 945 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUMAIT IBN ZAID (679-743) , Arabian poet, was
born
  in the reign of the first Omayyad
caliph
  and lived in the reigns of nine others. He was, however, a strong supporter of the
house
  of Hashim and an enemy of the
South
  Arabians. He was imprisoned by the
caliph
  Hisham for his verse in praise of the Hashimites, but escaped by the help of his wife and was pardoned by the intercession of the caliph's son Maslama. Taking
part
  in a rebellion, he was killed by the troops of Khalid ul-Qasri.
His poems, the Hashimiyyat, have been edited by J. Horovitz (
Leiden
 , 1904). An
account
  of him is contained in the Kitab ul-Agha.ni, xv. 113-13o. (G. W. T.)
