Draft:Tamīm al-Dārī

Palestinian Figures

Tamīm al-Dārī. He played a significant role in acquainting Hebron with the worldview of Muslims. He seems central to multiple historical narratives disseminated during the Umayyad era. This is evidenced by his frequent mention in texts dating back to that period.

It is plausible that specific individuals who transmitted these pseudo-historical accounts concerning Tamīm were residents of Palestine. Their intimate knowledge of the geographical features of the Holy Land implies this likelihood. For instance, a chain of narrators tracing a historical anecdote about Tamīm's humility starts with Rawḥ b. Zinbāʿ al-Ǧuḏāmī (d. 84/703) and terminates with Ibrāhīm b. Abī ʿAblah al-Qurašī (d. 152/769).
