Lista de Personas Famosas llamadas Zuhayr

Zuhayr ibn Al-Qayn Al-Bajalī, was a member of the Bajila tribe in Iraq and a companion of Husayn ibn Ali, Muhammad's grandson and son of Ali ibn Abi Talib. He was martyred during the battle of Karbala in Karbala.

Zuhayr ibn Qays al-Balawī fue un compañero del profeta islámico Mahoma y un comandante árabe que luchó al servicio de los califas califato Rashidun, Omeya y Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr. Desempeñó un papel clave en las primeras conquistas musulmanas de Egipto, Barca (Cirenaica) e Ifriqiya. Cuando esta última provincia cayó ante una alianza bizantino-bereber en 682, Zuhayr recibió el mando del ejército para restaurar el dominio árabe. Durante esa campaña, retomó temporalmente Kairuán, la capital de los árabes en Ifriqiya, y mató al jefe bereber Kusaila, pero fue asesinado por los invasores bizantinos en su camino de regreso a Barca.

Zuhayr ibn Janab ibn Hubal al-Kalbi was a chieftain of the Banu Kalb tribe and a pre-Islamic Arabic warrior poet. Much of his biography relies on semi-legendary accounts, but it is apparent that he lived in the early 6th century. He led not only the Kalb, but the entire Quda'a tribal confederation. During his one-time alliance with the Aksumite viceroy Abraha, Zuhayr quelled a revolt by the Taghlib and Bakr tribes, capturing their chieftains, including Kulayb ibn Rabi'a. Later, he destroyed the pagan sanctuary of the Ghatafan tribe, which rivaled the Ka'aba in Mecca. Traditional Arab sources noted that Zuhayr lived an extremely long life, and finally died by suicide after he was disobeyed. His descendants, particularly those belonging to the family of Bahdal ibn Unayf, would later hold high positions under the Umayyad Caliphate.
