Qays ibn Makshuh al-Muradi

Qays ibn Hubayra ibn al-Makshuh al-Muradi, lord of Murad in the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and a commander in the conquest of Iraq ^{1 2}.

When the Prophet's command reached them that the two should set out together to the Qurashi man who says he is a prophet, in order to learn his teaching, Amr ibn Ma'd Yakrib invited Qays to go. Qays refused and mocked his opinion, so Amr rode alone and became Muslim ¹. When this reached Qays, he threatened Amr and was harsh with him, saying: "You opposed me and abandoned my opinion." Amr then satirised him in a poem; see the arrival of Amr ibn Ma'd Yakrib ^{1 3}.

Umar wrote to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah (may God be pleased with him), who sent Qays to Sa'd with seven hundred men. It is disputed whether he took part in al-Qadisiyya or came after the Muslims had finished the battle. Umar ruled that if he arrived before the dead were buried, his share would be given to him ².
