'''Hani' b. Qabīṣah b. Hani' b. Mas'ud''' also known as '''Hānīʾ b. Qabīṣa''' 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. One of them was Khadijah to whom he was wed by Waraqa ibn Naufal. Hence Hani was at least originally a Royalist (Nasri) at first even though he later became a Christian (Tsabi)under the influence of Dihya ibn Khalifa's Monoenergism through which Hani established an alliance with Heraclius from 619 to 629. Tabari says that a number of the learned scholars of the Arabs whom Abu 'Ubaydah expressly named, said this was Hani b. Masud b. 'Amir al-Khasib b. 'Amr al-Muzdalif b. AbI Rabi'ah b. Dhuhl b. Šaybān b. Tha'labah. However, Al-Tabari tells us that other scholars mentioned by Abu Ubaidah stated that Hani' b. Masud was not alive when these events transpired and that the person in question was Hani' b. Qabīṣah b. Hani' b. Masud. Al-Tabari confirms that it is the latter opinion concerning Hani b. Qabīṣah as the inheritor of Al-Numan's possessions that he considers to be historically correct.
A Tang Chinese source called the Jiu Tang Shiu on the origins of [[Tachkastan]] mentions the same event but refers to Hani as a Persian-Camel herder and to Al-Nu'man as the Lion-man.
