Overview

A branch of Banu Tamim, as Ibn Hisham gives the lineage: Darim ibn Malik ibn Handhala ibn Malik ibn Zayd Manat ibn Tamim. 1

In Ibn Hisham's biography

From Banu Darim came Utarid ibn Hajib, al-Aqra ibn Habis and al-Hutat ibn Yazid in the delegation of Banu Tamim. 1 2 In the verses transmitted for al-Zibriqan, there is a claim that there is nothing in the land of the Hijaz like Darim; the editors note that Darim belongs to Banu Tamim. 3 Hassan, in his reply, addressed them: "Banu Darim, do not boast." 4 The editors note elsewhere that al-Hutat was of Banu Mujashi', who are of Darim. 1

The delegation of Banu Tamim and the boasting contest

Utarid ibn Hajib led the notables of Banu Tamim to the Prophet in 9 AH, with al-Aqra' ibn Habis, al-Zibriqan ibn Badr, Amr ibn al-Ahtam, al-Hutat ibn Yazid, Qays ibn Asim and others, and Uyayna ibn Hisn with them. They called him from behind his apartments, then challenged him to a boasting contest; Thabit ibn Qays answered Utarid and Hassan answered al-Zibriqan, al-Aqra' conceded that the Muslims' orator and poet were better, and they embraced Islam and were given gifts. The opening of sura al-Hujurat was revealed about them.
