Abu Tammam (Habib ibn Aus) (ca. 805–ca. 845) was an Arab poet of the tribe of Tai (though some say he was the son of a Christian apothecary named Thaddeus, and that his genealogy was forged). He was born in Jasim ( Josem), Egypt, a place to the north-east of the Sea of Tiberias or near Manbij ( Hierapolis). He seems to have spent his youth in Homs, though, according to one story, he was employed during his boyhood in selling water in a mosque in Cairo. His first appearance as a poet was in Egypt, but as he failed to make a living there he went to Damascus, and then to Mosul. From there he made a visit to the governor of Armenia, who awarded him richly. After 833 he lived mostly in Baghdad, at the court of the caliph Mo'tasim. From Baghdad he visited Khorasan, where he enjoyed the favour of Abdallah ibn Tahir. About 845 he was in Ma'arrat un-Nu'man, where he met the poet al- Buhturi (ca. 820– 897). He died in Mosul. ...more on Wikipedia about "Abu Tammam"

Ibn Duraid [Abu Bakr Mahommed ibn ul-Hasan ibn Duraid ul-Azdi] ( 837- 934), Arab poet and philologist, was born at Basra of south Arabian stock. At his native place he was trained under various teachers, but fled in 871 to Oman at the time Basra was attacked by the Zanj, under Muhallabi. After living twelve years in Oman he went to Persia, and, under the protection of the governor, `Abdallah ibn Mahommed ibn Mikal, and his son, Ismail, wrote his chief works. In 920 he went to Baghdad, where he received a pension from the caliph Moqtadir. The Magsicra, a poem in praise of Ibn Mikal and his son, has been edited by A. Haitsma (1773), E. Scheidius (1786), and N. Boyesen (1828). Various commentaries on the poem exist in manuscript (cf. C. Brockelmann, Gesch. der arab. lit., i. 211 ff., Weimar, 1898). The Jarnhara fi-l-Lugha is a large dictionary written in Persian but not printed. Another work is the Kitab ul-Ishtiqaq (" Etymology"), edited by F. Wustenfeld (Gottingen, 1854); it was written in opposition to the anti-Arabian party to show the etymological connexion of the Arabian tribal names. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ibn Duraid"
