About this person
Al-Ḥujayjah, also known as Safīyah bint Thaʻlabah al-Shaybānīyah was a pre-Islamic poet of the Banū Shaybān tribe, noted for her work in the genre of taḥrīḍ. Her dates of birth and death are unknown, and even her historicity is open to question. But she seems to have granted protection to al-Ḥurqah bint al-Nuʻmān when Khosrow II demanded her in marriage from her father al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir around the beginning of the seventh century, and her surviving corpus relates to the Battle of Dhū-Qār in c. 609. Characterised as a 'warrior diplomat', she has been read as a key figure in pre-Islamic poetry.
