Mahd al-Aadiyya

Mahd al-Aadiyya (Arabic: مَهد العادية‎) was supposedly an Arabic poet from around 4000 BCE.[1] She is unlikely to have existed:[2][3] Rather she is a chronicle character who is portrayed uttering a muzdawaj (heroic couplet)[4] warning the people of ʿĀd of their impending destruction by Allah, in accordance with the prophecies of the prophet Hud.
