Al-Munakhal
Al-Munakhal al-Yashkuri (
Life
Little is known in certainty about al-Munakhal's life.
Death
There are several stories regarding his death. For instance, the Lakhmid al-Nu'man III entered the chamber of his wife surprisingly, where he found his wife al-Mutajareda and al-Munakhal together. Henceforth, al-Numan ordered for al-Munakhal to be imprisoned and tortured, and from that day he was never seen again. Hence the Arabic proverb, "Until Munakhal shall return",[4] an expression for something that is not expected to ever happen.[5] But, Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani narrates a different story in which al-Munakhal was imprisoned and killed by the order of the king Amr ibn Hind after news reached him about the involvement of his daughter Hind in an affair with her secret lover al-Munakhal.[3]
