جساس بن مرة

Jasas ibn Murra ibn Dhuhl ibn Shaybān al-Bakri, the killer of Kulayb ibn Rabi'a. ²

Ibn al-Athir relates that Kulayb shot the udder of a she-camel belonging to a neighbour of Jasas's maternal aunt al-Basus, who cried out "Oh, my humiliation!" Jasas understood that Kulayb had brought death upon his own chest, so he watched for an opening in Kulayb until he came upon him and stabbed him. ²

When he was reproached, he once said to his father that it was a stab for which the Banu Wa'il would gather to dance tomorrow. ²

The war of al-Basus between Bakr and Taghlib blazed up over his killing and lasted forty years. He is from Bakr ibn Wa'il. ²
