Samra ibn Jundab al-Fazari (d. 60 AH / 680 CE) was a sahaba of Muhammad.

Muslim ibn ʿUqba al-Murrī (Arabic: مسلم بن عقبة المري‎) (pre-622–683) was a general of the Umayyad Caliphate during the reigns of caliphs Mu'awiya I (r. 661–680) and his son and successor Yazid I (r. 680–683). The latter assigned Muslim, a staunch loyalist who had distinguished himself at the Battle of Siffin, to be the commander of an expedition against the people of Medina for refusing to give Yazid the oath of allegiance. The victory of Muslim at the Battle of al-Harrah in 683 and the subsequent pillaging of Medina by his army was considered among the major injustices carried out by the Umayyads. Muslim died shortly after.

Yazid ibn Umar ibn Hubayra al-Fazari (Arabic: يَزِيد بن عُمَر بن هُبَيْرَة الْفَزارِيّ‎, Yazīd ibn ʿUmar ibn Hubayra al-Fazārī; died 750) was the last Umayyad governor of Iraq. A son of former governor Umar ibn Hubayra, he became one of the most important partisans of Caliph Marwan II in the Third Fitna, but failed to stem the onslaught of the Abbasid Revolution. Defeated, he was captured and executed by the Abbasids.

Umar ibn Hubayra al-Fazari (Arabic: عمر بن هبيرة الفزاري‎, ʿUmar ibn Hubayra al-Fazārī; fl.) was a prominent Umayyad general and governor of Iraq, who played an important role in the Qays–Yaman conflict of this period.

Al-Nābighah (النابغة الذبياني), al-Nābighah al-Dhubiyānī, or Nābighah al-Dhubyānī; real name Ziyad ibn Muawiyah (c. – c.); was one of the last Arabian poets of pre-Islamic times. "Al-Nabigha" means "genius" in Arabic.

Antarah ibn Shaddad al-Absi (Arabic: عنترة بن شداد العبسي‎, ʿAntarah ibn Shaddād al-ʿAbsī; AD 525–608), also known as ʿAntar, was a pre-Islamic Arab knight and poet, famous for both his poetry and his adventurous life. His chief poem forms part of the Mu'allaqāt, the collection of seven "hanging odes" legendarily said to have been suspended in the Kaaba. The account of his life forms the basis of a long and extravagant romance.

The Battle of Shi'b Jabala (Arabic: يوم شعب جبلة) was one of the major, inter-tribal battles of the pre-Islamic period in Najd (central Arabia). It was fought in the late 6th century CE between the Qaysi tribes of Hawazin and Banu Abs on the one hand, and a coalition of the Tamim and Asad tribes and the contingents of the Kindite and Lakhmid kings on the other. It ended in a major victory for the Qays led by the chiefs of the Banu Amir, a branch of the Hawazin. The battle was a major contributor to the evacuation of the last Kindite kings from Najd to South Arabia. The Banu Amir suffered a reversal in fortunes the following year when many of its prominent members fell in a battle with the Tamim.

Thumāma ibn al-Walīd ibn Qa‘qā al-‘Absi‘ (Arabic: ثمامة بن الوليد بن قعقاع العبسي‎) was an Arab general of noble lineage from Syria, who served the Abbasid Caliphate.
