Shouldn't the name of this article be Antara bin Shaddad? Gareth Hughes 14:09, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes & no, but no is the better answer.

Ibn and bin are almost the same. But bin is common in informal Arabic. In the other side informal Arabic or classic Arabic it is always said as ibn. Through time I guess, people used bin because its easier on the tongue. Alromaithi 06:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mufarij Ibn Homam??

I read Antarah Story over and Over and I never heard of Mufarij Ibn Homam?? is tehre any source of?. Mussav 03:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

He was actually sent to steal the horses of the Persian king as a favor to his Uncle in accordiance with his wish for Antar and Obla's mairage. Also, it was his quality and powers over music which gained him the favor of the Persian King. THe Persian King was so overwhelmed by the Pressence and Mannor of Antar that he granted him thousands of gifts from a convoy of slaves, to millions in gold and silver. He actually died in combat with a famous warrior who used poisened arrows. He died defending his honor and the life of his wife. The source of this information is in fact the hard-back 1944 version of the Romance of Antar. Fascinating read.
