Amr ibn Kulthum Ibn Malik Ibn A`tab Abu Al-Aswad al-Taghlibi (died 584), a knight and the leader of the Taghlib tribe, which is in Al-Forat island, is famous for his bravery and merciless behavior in battle.

Arabs in the past would say in remembrance of the Taghlib, "People were about to be eradicated by the Taghlabs, except for the appearance of Islam".
