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