'''Hani' b. Qabīṣah b. Hani' b. Mas'ud''' also known as '''Hānīʾ b. Qabīṣa''' and as '''Ali ibn Abu Talib''' as well as '''Abu turabTurab''' (599-661) is the name given in sources quoted by [[Abu Ubaidah (scholar)]] (and confirmed as correct according to [[Al-Tabari]]) to the person with whom [[Al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir]] deposited his coats of mail, his valuables, and other arms when Al-Nu`man had become fearful of [[Khosrow II]]. The lowest estimate of these mailed coats of armour was four hundred, and the highest was eight hundred.<ref>https://static4.emaanlibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Extracted-pages-from-Tabari_Volume_05b.pdf?x60328 p.358-359</ref> Al-Nu'man's fate was the cause of the [[Battle of Dhi Qar]] where Hani b. Qabīṣah led the Šaybānī [[Banu Bakr|Bakri]] b. Wāʾil to triumph.<ref>https://iranicaonline.org/articles/du-qar</ref>.
According to Al-Tabari's source, when al-Nu'man killed 'Adi, 'Adi's brother and son hatched a plot against al-Nu'man at Khosrow II's court, and falsified a letter sent by al-Nu'man to Khosrow II exculpating himself with expressions that roused Khosrow II's anger. Hence Khosrow II ordered al-Nu`man to be killed. Therefore al-Nu`man, fearing for his life, deposited his coats of mail, his valuables, and other arms with a certain Hani' because al-Nu`man had given Hani' two of his Nasrid daughters in marriage. Hence Hani was at least originally a Royalist (Nasri) at first even though he later became a Christian (Tsabi) under the influence of [[Hanzalah|Hanzalah ibn Tha'laba]] and Paul/Gabriel/Dihya ibn Khalifa's Monoenergism through which Hani established an alliance with Heraclius from 619 to 629.
