Ibn Al-A'rabi said: Ajdam is Dabi'ah bin Qais bin Tha'labah, so he made Ajdam to be Dabi'ah himself. According to this, the attribution of Dabi'ah to him is not correct because a thing is not attributed to itself. He said: And in my opinion, his name is Dabi'ah and his nickname is Ajdam, and both names are singular. When a singular is nicknamed with a singular, it is attributed to it, like your saying Qais Quffah and the like. So, according to this, the attribution is correct.
