Overview
The uprising against Hujr
Ibn al-Athir relates that he charged at Hujr, struck him with a spear and killed him, since Hujr had killed his father. It is said that Hujr was captured and the nephew of Ilba leapt upon him in the same way. 2
The departure
He was the one who advised the Banu Asad to move away from the Banu Kinana without informing them, when Imru' al-Qays came with the hosts of Bakr and Taghlib seeking vengeance. 2
