Banu Shayban

The Banu Shayban were an Arab tribe, a branch of the Bakr ibn Wa'il group. Throughout the early Islamic era, the tribe was settled chiefly in the Jazira, and played an important role in its history.

History

In the pre-Islamic period, the Shayban with their flocks wandered according to the seasons, wintering in Jadiyya in the Najd and moving to the fertile lowlands around the Euphrates for the summer, ranging from the Jazira in the north to lower Iraq and the shores of the Persian Gulf. Its chief opponents during this time were the Banu Taghlib and Banu Tamim tribes. Already from pre-Islamic times, the tribe was "celebrated [...] for the remarkable quality of its poets, its use of a very pure form of Arabic language and its fighting ardour" (Th. Bianquis), a reputation its members retained into the Islamic period, when histories remark both on their own skills as, and on their patronage of, poets.

During the time of Muhammad and his immediate successors, the Shayban were allies of the Banu Hashim (the clan to which Muhammad belonged). During the Muslim conquest of Persia, the Shaybani al-Muthanna ibn Haritha played a leading role in the conquest of Iraq. For the most part the Shayban remained active, as in pre-Islamic times, mainly in Mesopotamia, but especially in the district of Diyar Mudar, where they settled in numbers, and from there to the adjacent Armenian Highland. By virtue of this proximity, the Shayban would play an important role in the history of early Islamic Armenia and Azerbaijan. A few isolated groups and individuals of the tribe are also attested in northern Syria and Khurasan, such as Abu Dawud Khalid ibn Ibrahim al-Dhuhli al-Shaybani, a follower of Abu Muslim.

Shoppin'

by: Cher

I'm shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I'm walking up to the counter and say
I want this sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', you don't need money down
Charge it, wrap it, send it shoppin'
Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My mama told me that's just another phase I'm going through
Whatcha got that's new?
Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', while everyone else is smokin', token', coken'
Well, I'll be shoppin', hit it, boys
Excuse me Miss, see that, the dress over there?
How many colors does it come in?
Yes, all right, no, I'd like every one
No, I'm not going to try it, I know it'll fit
Ooh, you know what?
Let's go up, oh, they're having a sale
My God, I love sales
No, I don't have a last name
It's just Cher, just plain Cher
Ooh, I like the shoes
Do you think you could this thing
It's all pink and wrinkly it's
What a darling little bag
Shoppin', I'm gonna buy it
Shoppin', I never try it on for size
Shoppin, will I like it
Shoppin', does the color match my eyes?
Folks say I'm daring for what I'm wearing
I'm always scaring the people's staring
So I'm declaring, I'm tired of swearing
I'm just shoppin'
Shoppin', I'm gonna but my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', don't need money down
Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', walking up to the counter and say
I want that sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', charge it, wrap it, send it
Shoppin', instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating
I've been shoppin'
While other people may be smokin', token', coken'
