Muhammed edh-Dhib

Muhammad Ahmed al-Hamed (born 1931), better known by his nickname Muhammed edh-Dhib (Arabic: محمد الذئب; "Muhammad the Wolf"), was a Bedouin shepherd from the Ta'amireh clans residing in Bethlehem, who discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls in winter 1946/47.
According to the account of an interview conducted by J.F. Docmac and Anton Kiraz, edh-Dhib's cousin Jum'a Muhammad noticed some holes while shepherding, and threw a rock in to find out how big they were. He discovered they were big enough to fit a human, and told his cousin what he had found. edh-Dhib fell into one of the holes later, retrieved some scrolls from a pot, and went to show them to Jum'a.
