Al-Ahnaf
7th-century Arab Muslim commander / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abu Bahr[1] Al-Ahnaf ibn Qays (Arabic: الأحنف بن قيس) was a Muslim commander who lived during the time of Islamic prophet Muhammad. He hailed from the Arab tribe of Banu Tamim and was born of noble parents. Initially, his father named him ad-Dhahhak, but people called him al-Ahnaf, which meant "the clubfooted" in classical Arabic. Al-Baladhuri, however, noted that he was also identified as Abdallah ibn Khazim.[2]
