Dhû l-Rumma
Arab poet · Writers · Lived 696 to 735 · aged 39
Abū l-Ḥārith Ghaylān b. ʿUqba, generally known as Dhū al-Rumma was a Bedouin poet and a rāwī of al-Rāʿī al-Numayrī.
Dhû l-Rumma is read about 21 times a day, in 7 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 21 August 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?About this person
In the assessment of Nefeli Papoutsakis, 'he stands at the end of a long poetic tradition which, for the most part, expressed the ethos and intellectual preoccupations of the pre-Islamic tribal society of Bedouin Arabs - a fact reflected in the saying of Abū 'Amr b. al-'Alā' that "poetry was closed with Dū r-Rumma" '.
