al-Aqra' ibn Habis al-Tamimi

A paramount chieftain and arbitrator of Banu Tamim in Najd; given one hundred camels at al-Ji'rana among al-Mu'allafa Qulubuhum, he witnessed the conquest of Mecca, Hunayn and al-Ta'if with the Prophet, came with the Tamim delegation in 9 AH and pronounced that the Muslims' orator and poet surpassed Tamim's, after which the delegation accepted Islam; he later took part in the early conquests.
