Abstract
b. K̲h̲uwaylid b. Nawfal , from the Bedouin Banū Faḳʿas , a part of the tribe of Asad , one of the false prophets who arose in Arabia during the lifetime of the Prophet Muḥammad and afterwards. Details of Ṭulayḥa’s life and activity before Islam are virtually unknown. Whereas certain clans of the Asad were connected with the religious and economic institutions of pre-Islamic Mecca, Ṭulayḥa’s clan, Faḳʿas , had no such links.
