The name Antara is derived from hitting flies, it is called the Antar, although the n in it is not an excess (such as the Kinda tribe whose origin is like this), it is from the breeding and the slaughter and the Antara also is the behavior in adversity and courage in war. And if the ancients did not know which of them was called: Bantar or Banatara, they also differed as to whether it was a name or a nickname for him. Antara was nicknamed Al-Falaha, from the farmer, meaning a crack in his lower lip. The ancients of the strangest Arabs.

Some narrators used to call Antar by the name of Antar sometimes, perhaps based on what they heard from his saying:

They call Antar and the spears are like arrowsAnd he said in another place:

I have healed myself and cured of its sickness. It was said that Al-Fawares Wek Antar is the oldest

Al-Khatib al-Tabrizi explained the first verse by saying: “Antar narrates - that is, with the addition - so whoever narrated it with the opening of the ra’, he engrafted Antara and left what was before the deleted one as it was open, and whoever narrated the narration of Antar and included the ra’ ​​could bear two aspects: one of them is that he made what remained a name as it is, except that he It has become a limb like the letter of the Bedouin, and the second is what Al-Mubarrad narrated from some of them that it was called “Antar”, so in this way it is only permissible to combine, this is what Al-Nahhas mentioned, and it is permissible for Antar in this way to be set as “they claim”. The dictionary commentator states that “his name may be Antar, as Sibawayh said to him.” However, what is mutawaatir in the approved books and what many people follow is that his name is “Antarah” not “Antar” and “Antar” is the behavior in adversity and courage in war, and this is And he said in another place: I have healed myself and cured of its sickness.

Antara was born in the Arabian Peninsula in the first quarter of the sixth century AD [3], and based on his news, and his participation in the Dahes and Ghabra war, his birth was determined in the year 525 AD. These numbers reinforce the frequency of news related to his contemporaneity with Amr ibn Ma’dikarb and al-Hutay’a, both of whom realized Islam.[4] His mother was an Abyssinian princess called Zabiba Rerger, captured in an attack on her convoy and admired by Shaddad, who gave birth to Antara, and Antara had brothers from his mother Obaid are Jarir and Shayboub. He was also a slave because the Arabs did not recognize the sons of slaves unless they excelled over their sufficiency with heroism or poetic or otherwise.[5] Percentage of justice He is: Antara bin Amr bin Shaddad bin Muawiyah bin Qarad bin Makhzoum bin Rabia bin Audh bin Malik bin Ghalib bin Qati`ah bin Abs bin Bagheed bin Rayth bin Ghatafan bin Saad bin Qais Aylan bin Mudar His life in slavery

Antara tasted the bitterness of deprivation and hardship of living and humiliation of the house because his father did not catch him in his lineage, his father was his master, punishing him severely for what he committed from the insinuations, and Sumaya was his stepmother instilled in him with his father and plots against him, and that she harassed his father once, and she said To him: «Antarah tempts me about myself». His father became very angry, and his head was crushed by his fever, so he beat him severely with a stick and followed her with a sword, but Sumayyah was caught by mercy in the end, so she fell on him crying to prevent his father's blows, so his father separated and stopped him. He considered Antara with poetry in which he says: [8]

The toxicity of the tears of the eye is a shedding, if that of you before today was known

It's like a day I stopped what a stag spoke to me about Asfan

You glared at me when I fell in love with the stick before me, as if it were a fetish that was used to being crooked.

Money is yours And the servant is your servant, so is your torment on behalf of me today reimbursed?

Forget about my affliction, if an air raid fertilized it, the tallest mantises would deceive it

They come out of it, and its feet are wet with water, and the repellent runs it

I might stab Al-Najla from the width of her brother's palm while he was bleeding

There is no doubt for one that eternity has a succession in which there is a thousand and a familiar scattering

His attachment to his father's lineage

That is because the tribe of Tay raided Abs in revenge for it, as the Abs tribe had previously invaded it and fed its camels, and Antara was with his people in Houmt al-Nazzal, but he participated as a defender, not an attacker, and the reason for this is what was narrated that he participated before in the invasion of Tay, but they betrayed him his right In the spoils, as they imposed on him the slave’s share of it, which is half, but he refused, and then he failed to engage in the battle. And the speeches against Bani Abs became so intense that they were almost robbed of their wealth and circles revolved around them, and then he shouted His father said: “Keep it up, Antara!” Antara answered the call: “No one can do good, except the milkman and the serpent.” At that moment, he did not find his father, instead of giving him credit, so he shouted at him: “Take a run while you are free.” Antara thought and started attacking as he sang: I am the hybrid Antara * Every person protects his freedom black and red * and hairy hairs encrypted imports * (missing text) The victory was for Bani Abs, so the tribe celebrated Antareh and honored him A nineteenth-century miniature depicting Antarah ibn Shaddad (left) and his mistress Abla (centre) on horseback. On the right a foot, the brother of Antara, Shayboub bin Shaddad.

A recent photo of a rock in the air in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, it is said that Antarah was meeting his beloved Abla.

Antara loved his cousin, Abla Bint Malik, the greatest and most intense love, and she was one of the most beautiful women of her people and the most famous of them in the completeness of the mind and the freshness of youth.

Antara proposed to his uncle Malik, his daughter Abla, but he refused to marry his daughter to a black man. It is said: He asked him to disable him and block the paths in his face, a thousand camels from the she-camel of an-Numan Known as the birds as a dowry for his daughter, and it is said: Antara went out to ask for the birds of Naaman until he could win Abla, and that he met great horrors for her, and fell into captivity. But his uncle returned to procrastinate and cost him too much, then he thought to get rid of him, so he presented his daughter to the tribal knights on the condition that the dowry be the head of Antara.

Then it will be the end that the ancient sources neglected and left researchers to disagree about, some of them believe that Antara won Abla and married her, and some of them believe that he did not marry her, but was won by another Knight of the Arabs.[9]

The Arab sources were silent about mentioning Abla, except in the area of ​​Antar’s youth and his love for her. They did not mention whether he had married her or his love remained suspended. Where some have gone to say that Meat He did not marry Abla, but rather fell in love with her, and that her father and brother prevented him from marrying, and that she married one of the nobles of her people despite Antara. Those who hold this view have measured their saying by analogy with the Arabs’ custom of forbidding their daughters to be married to those they grow up with before marriage.

Some are inclined to the opinion that Antara married Abla for factors and reasons, including that he had inherited his father's lineage, so the hybrid lineage was removed from him and he became a cousin of Abla, then he was one of the most famous knights of the Bani Abs tribe, but rather a knight of Arab knights, and his strength and chivalry, which he does not overlook from his account of He wants Abla to marry, as he will be subjected to Antara's revenge and his revenge for his dignity Antara's life ended after he reached the age of nearly ninety years, as his life was confined between the years 525 and 615 AD, and Al-Zarkali mentioned in the media that his death was in the year 600 AD, which corresponds to the twenty-second year before the migration. [8]

At the end of Antara, he mentioned several narrations, although the circulated and likely narrative is the story of the owner of the songs by saying that Antara attacked Bani Nabhan from Tai and expelled them as a prey while he was an old man.

He said: Zirr (and it was said) bin Jaber al-Nabhani was in a fatwa, so he threw it and said: Take it and I am Ibn Salma.

And Ibn Selma is with him, so know my blood and how bad it is that neither Ibn Selma nor my blood is hoped for

It settles on the reefs and belongs to the place of the chandelier, not the digester

He threw me and was not surprised with a blue to humiliate me In the evening, they were divided between soft and open

Ibn al-Kalbi said: The one who killed him was called al-Assad al-Rahees al-Ta’i.[10]
