Bakr ibn Wa'il
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Bakr ibn Wa'il, a tribe of Rabi'a ibn Nizar; the Raheeq counts among Rabi'a Asad, Anaza, Abd al-Qays and Wa'il's two sons Bakr and Taghlib and Hanifa. When Adnan's sons scattered, clans of Bakr migrated with Abd al-Qays and Tamim to Bahrayn, while Banu Hanifa went to Yamama and settled its capital Hajar; the rest of Bakr held the land's length from Yamama to Bahrayn to the coast of Kazima to the sea — the edges of Iraq's Sawad — while Taghlib settled the Euphrates Jazira. Of Bakr are Banu Shayban: al-Nu'man ibn al-Mundhir deposited his family and wealth with them, and when Kisra demanded it, Hani' ibn Mas'ud refused to hand it over — hence the battle of Dhu Qar which Banu Shayban won, counted by the author the first day the Arabs defeated the Persians.
