Tumāḍir bint ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥarth ibn al-Sharīd al-Sulamīyah ((アラビア語:تماضر بنت عمرو بن الحرث بن الشريد السُلمية )), usually simply referred to as al-Khansā’ ((アラビア語:الخنساء)) (translated from Arabic as either "gazelle" or "short-nosed") was a 7th-century Arabic poet (said to have died in 646 CE〔Abdullah al-Udhari, ''Classical Poems by Arab Women'' (London: Saqi, 1999), p. 58.〕). She was born and raised in Najd, Arabia. She was a contemporary of Muhammad, and eventually converted to Islam. In her time, the role of a female poet was to write elegies for the dead and perform them for the tribe in public oral competitions. Al-Khansa’ won respect and fame in these competitions with her elegies for her brothers, Ṣakhr and Muʿāwiyah, who had died in battle. She is the best known female poet in Arabic literature. ==Life== Al-Khansa’ was born into a wealthy family of Najd. In 612, her brother Muʿawiyah was killed by members of another tribe. Al-Khansa’ insisted that her brother, Sakhr, avenge Muʿawiyah's death, which he did. Sakhr was wounded in the process and died of his wounds a year later. Al-Khansa’ mourned his death in poetry and gained fame for her elegiac compositions. She met the Islamic prophet, Muhammad in 629 and converted to Islam. He is said to have been very impressed by her poetry. She had four sons: Yazīd, Muʿāwiyah, ʿAmr, and ʿAmrah, all of whom converted to Islam. All four of her sons were killed in the Battle of Qadisiyah. When she received the news, she did not grieve, but said, "Praise be to Allah who honored me with their martyrdom. And I have hope from my Lord that he will reunite me with them in the abode of his mercy."
