Hanzalah b. Tha'labah b. Sayyar al-'Ijli was appointed by Hani ibn Qabisa as Rosh Ma'amad of the Monoenergist Noahites who united the Lakhmids and other Arabs. He was a poet whose advice was regarded as auspicious even though it was said that he had left the way of the Royalists (Nasrideen) and had become a Tsabi (Messianic). Through him victory was attained at the battle of Dhi Qar when Hani ibn Qabisa appointed him as Ma'amed (Imam). He was murdered by Muawiya. He was confused with Hani ibn Qabisa in the time of Abbasids when the origin story of the Arabs' Empire was re-written.
