NABIGHA DHUBYANT

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
NABIGHA DHUBYANT [Ziyad ibn Mu' awiyyal (6th and 7th centuries), Arabian poet, was one of the last poets of pre-Islamic times. His tribe, the Bani Dhubyan, belonged to the
district
  near Mecca, but he himself spent most of his time at the courts of
Hira
  and Ghassan. In
Hira
  he remained under Mondhir (Mundhir) III., and under his successor in 562. After a sojourn at the
court
  of Ghassan, he returned to Hira under Nu`man. He was, however, compelled to flee to Ghassan, owing to some verses he had written on the queen, but returned again about boo. When Nu`man died some five years later he withdrew to his own tribe. The date of his death is uncertain, but he does not seem to have known
Islam
 . His poems consist largely of eulogies and satires, and are concerned with the strife of Hira and Ghassan, and of the Bani Abs and the Bani Dhubyan. He is one of the six eminent pre-Islamic poets whose poems were collected before the
middle
  of the 2nd
century
  of
Islam
 , and have been regarded as the
standard
  of Arabian
poetry
 . Some writers consider him the first of the six.
His poems have been edited by W. Ahlwardt in the Diwans of the six ancient Arabic Poets (London, 187o), and separately by H. Derenbourg (Paris, 1869, a reprint from the
Journal
  asiatique for 1868). (G. W. T.)
