page 501 note 1 ‘Abd al-Qādir expressly states (Khiz. i, 545, lines 6 and 5 from foot) that the name is in the active form, given to him by his father because he left the camels of which he was in charge to wander by themselves while he was busy with his poetry. The name is, however, more often given in the passive form, Musayyab, and is so explained in al-Anbārī's commentary to the Mufaḍḍalīyāt (my edition), p. 92, 1. 7.
