Details
Abū l-Ḥārith Ghaylān b. ʿUqba, generally known as Dhū ar-Rumma ('the one with the frayed cord', possibly referring to a cord amulet; c. 696 – c. 735) was a Bedouin poet and a rāwī of al-Rā'ī al-Numayrī (died c. 715). 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 D̲ū r-Rumma" '.
