Shaddad ibn Mu'awiya
Arabian · mortal · mu allaqat poetic · Recorded classification
Shaddād ibn Muʿāwiya al-ʿAbsī, free-born noble of the Banū ʿAbs and father of the pre-Islamic poet-warrior ʿAntara by the Abyssinian bondwoman Zabība. Because the child of a slave-mother followed the mother's status, ʿAntara was born a slave despite his noble paternity; Shaddād later freed and acknowledged him after his valour in a tribal raid. He is the paternal node of ʿAntara, previously carried in the corpus only within ʿAntara's prose and patronymic ('ibn Shaddād').
