Asir Region tribes

The Asir tribes have not hidden their homes from ancient times until this era, and it is the mountain range that Al-Hamdani called (Al-Tur) and is now called (the Sarawat mountain range). The geographical borders of the Asir Region end with the borders of (Ghamid), which is a branch of the famous Bajila tribe. It is most likely that the (Asir and Bajila) tribes belong to one ancestor, and are related to each other, as the author Malik Al-Ashraf mentioned.

Al-Yamani (Abu Jaafar Omar bin Yusuf bin Rasul Al-Ghassani) quoted what he found in a historical copy of the rulers of Yemen and reads it as follows: ((Know that the Azd tribes are twenty-six tribes that are united by the name Azd, and they are (Jafna, Ghassan, Khuza’a, Mazen, Bariq, Al-Ma’, Al-Hajr, Al-Atik, Rasib, Ghamid, Muawiyah, Walid, And Thamala, Watib, Zahran, Banu Malik, Dahman, Al-Hadan, Shukur, Aak, Dos, Qahfa, Al-Jahazama, Al-Athafrah, Qasafil, and

Farahid) End quote.

He also mentioned that the tribes of Azd, Khath'am, Bajila, and Hamdan only trace their lineage to Zaid bin Kahlan, and his lineage ends with Qahtan, and among them are Abs, Shamran, Sanhan, Banu Ubaidah, Zubaid, Shahran, Tha'labah, Ka'b, Janab, Rafidah, Talab, Nahis, Kud, and Banu Salul. The Bajila tribe was named by this name in reference to their mother, Bajila bint Saab bin Saad, the clan.

Their country was Khath’am, and then they separated during the days of the Islamic conquest.

Knowing the origins of the modern Arab tribes depends on in-depth knowledge of the origins of the ancient tribes, including the genealogy books written by advanced scholars, and the information received by people, which was essentially built on boasts and some fanaticism, which contributed to creating some Asiries in proving the lineage of some of these branches, since the modern tribes are related to them, so they are branches of them.

In addition to this, there is a lot of overlap between the branches of the tribes, and the division of many of the branches and clans of these tribes and their entry into other tribes, and there are many reasons for this, including alliance, especially after many tribes have allied since the pre-Islamic era until recently for one reason or another, and the neighborhood in homes, and the similarity of names, including the return of the two tribes to a single origin, and then one of them becomes famous and the other joins it because the great ancestor of the two tribes is one.,

Since its inception, Islam has fought tribal fanaticism and forbade it.

At the same time, it encouraged ties of kinship and communication, and made all Muslims brothers in religion, and that the best of them in the sight of God is the most pious, not the noblest. The Almighty says (Indeed, the believers are brothers) and the Almighty said (O people, We created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the one who fears you).

However, the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not completely abolish tribal honors, but rather made them dependent on good faith and the strength of belief. When people asked him about the most honorable Arabs, his answer, may God bless him and grant him peace, was: ((The best of them in pre-Islamic times are the best in Islam if they understand it)).

On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said ((Love Arabs for three reasons: because I am Arab, the Qur’an is Arabic, and the speech of the people of Paradise is Arabic)).

The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: ((Learn from your lineages what you can use to connect your relatives, for maintaining ties of kinship is love for one’s family, enrichment in money, prosperous in life, and pleasing to the Lord)). Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said: ((Learn your lineages, so you will know your origins, and connect your relatives with them)).

And it was said: ((If you had no knowledge of genealogies except to protect it from the rivalry of enemies and the quarreling of competent people, then learning it would be one of the strongest opinions and the best reward.

Do you not see the words of the people of Shuaib, peace be upon him, when they said: {And had it not been for your family, we would have stoned you}, so they spared him for his family)). And from the words of Ali bin Abi Talib, may God bless his face: ((Honor your clan, for they are your wing with which you fly, for by them you attain success, and by them you grow tall, and they are the means of preparation in times of distress.

Honor the generous of them, treat the sick of them, involve them in your affairs, and ease their hardship)).

It was said that if you had a relative and you did not walk to him with your foot, and did not give him of your money, then you cut him off. It was said: The right of relatives is the younger’s respect for the older, and the older’s tenderness towards the younger. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said ((The right of the eldest of the brothers over their younger is like the right of a father over his child)).

Omar, may God be pleased with him, urges Muslims to learn genealogy because of its effect on connecting relatives and increasing love.

He says: ((Learn your lineages and connect your relatives with them, and do not be like the black tribe if one of you is asked, “Who are you?” He said, “From such-and-such a village.

By God, there would be a thing between a man and his brother if the one between him and him knew who entered into it - meaning the inside of the ruler - the womb, that would deter him from violating it.”)) Genealogy is a matter of trust, and its desired result is the connection of kinship and communication, which is what our true religion calls for, the religion of tolerance, love and brotherhood.

No one claims a lineage to which he has no connection, nor does he deny a lineage for which he has no place. The origin means the father and grandfather and whoever meets him in them, and it is what connects the family. We, God willing, are entrusted with our lineages. The Asir Region consists of a group of ancient Arab tribes that trace their origins to four divisions: (Qahtan, Madhhij, Kinana, and Anmar).

These divisions later branched into several tribes, then each tribe branched into several divisions. Each tribe has a sheikh, then sheikhs of large tribes, then tribal deputies, and these tribes are:

Most of the Asir tribes are affiliated with Azd Shanuah - Al-Azd bin Al-Ghouth bin Saba bin Yashjab bin Ya'arub, and the Azd tribe is a neighborhood of Kahlan of Qahtan origin, and it is one of the greatest and most powerful neighborhoods.

(Al-Jawhari) divided the Azd tribes into three sections, the first of which is (Azd Shanuah), which is the Banu Nasr, nicknamed (Shunuah) and (Shinuah) is the name For the location north of Abha, it includes mountains and valleys, and includes eleven springs, including: (Jarada Spring), (Nabta) Spring, and (Al Ayn) Spring in the homeland of the Ya’la family (and Al Ayn Spring in the homeland of Ibn Musafah).

The Shanwa Mountains begin at the top of Hamra, in a place known as (the site above the village of Al-Musannah) and end in the homeland of Al Ya’la in the east, and they contain traces of the houses of Sarad bin Abdullah Al-Azdi, may God be pleased with him.

Some historians mentioned that the Asir tribes are affiliated with a man called Asir, who is Asir bin Arasha bin Anz bin Wael, and it was said that his name is not Asir, but rather he was nicknamed that when he disagreed with his father, Arasha. And his brothers, Qanan and Jandallah, and his uncle Rafidah, and he left them and settled in that region with poor terrain.

This is also supported by the saying of the scholar Sheikh Ahmed bin Ali bin Musharraf, may God have mercy on him, in his collection of poems, when he says: And do not forget that the Yemeni neighborhood is **** of the Shiites of the people of truth by the truth Muqtada Tribes from Hamadan and Shanawa **** from the Azd, followers of the black president They have protected the religion, since it has not restrained it **** and the reunion has dispersed from it every one who dissipates it.

They are a group for Muslims, a stronghold, and an impenetrable cave for the ever-increasing wanderer. ...

Genealogists and historians mention that the Asir tribes were formed from the alliances of the Adnaniyah of Anz bin Wael, and the Adnaniyah of Qurayshi, who are the Yazidis (descendants of Yazid bin Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan). They constitute a large part of the Bani Mughid, one of the Asir tribes..

and a small part of the Yazidis allied themselves with the Asir Tihama “Rijal Almaa” and merged with the Azd Shanawa tribes ( Asir), and these mostly allied Azadi and Adnani tribes together formed what was called the Asir tribes...as the alliance between the tribes was a prevailing situation among the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, created by the circumstances in those eras.

Some of the tribes of Anz bin Wael allied with other tribes such as Qahtan, Shahran, and others, and there are alliances within other major Arab tribes such as Shammar, Utaiba, Mutair, Harb, and others.

The Asir tribe is divided into two main parts: Asir Al-Sarat... These tribes inhabit the foothills of the mountainous areas and what surrounds them towards the desert region to the east. And the Asir Tihama... These tribes live to the west of the foothills of the mountains towards the western coast of the Red Sea adjacent to the region....

The Asiris are made up of five main tribes, and each tribe is divided into several branches, and the branches are divided into several clans, and each clan branches into several clans, and these tribes are:

This tribe is affiliated as a whole with Mughid bin Aslam bin Amr bin Awf bin Kaab bin Al-Harith bin Kaab bin Malik bin Nasr bin Al-Azd, and the Banu Mughid have the right to raise the Asir banner, advance it, and become their sheikh in the Mufarreh family. He is called the sheikh of the Banu Mughid and the Banu Nimar.

This is due to the fact that the Banu Nimar are not an original tribe or clan of the Banu Mughid, but rather they were allies of the Banu Mughid at that time, but now. They are counted among them, and this tribe is famous for its large number and great fame among the tribes of the region.

It includes four main branches: 1 - Al Najih: They are the people of Al-Saqqa and are divided into three groups: A - The family of Yazid is divided into two parts: 1 - There is no Yazid al-Saqqa, and they are of Umayyad lineage, and they are divided into two groups: the family of Yazid al-Qarn, and the family of Yazid al-Qa’wa, and among them are the family of Aidh, Mujthal, and Musalat.

2 - The family of Yazid Al-Sha’af: They go back to the family of Yazid in Al-Saqqa, and they separated from Al-Saqqa after the revolt of Ali bin Ibrahim against his cousin Saqr bin Hassan.

The family of Yazid in general allied themselves with the Banu Wazi’ of Islam from the Banu Mughid in the second century AH, and the Banu Wazi’ has now dissolved into the Banu Mughid. B-to the max. C - Al-Falah, Al-Abdul-Aziz: Among the Al-Abdul-Aziz, Al-Mushaybah, the sheikhs of the former Bani Mughid, the Abu Faraj, and the Ibn Dabaan, and through their lands passes Wadi Maydan, named after Maydan bin Malik bin Nasr bin Al-Azd. This valley is attributed to him.

His sons dispersed throughout the Asir tribes, and some of them dispersed to Iraq.

Among them was Abdullah bin Wahb Al-Rasbi, the head of the Kharijites on the Day of the Camel, and Rasib is the son of Maydan bin Malik. Bin Nasr bin Al-Azd 2 - Al-Wazi’: From them are the Al-Waiman, the Al-Badla, Al-Akkas, Al-Zaydi, and Al-Alaya. 3 - The family of Mugheed Al-Watta: Branching from them are the Al-Ashraf, the people of Abha, the Banu Jaafari Musha’i, and the people of Rudhaf.

The Banu Mughid are affiliated in Tihama, the Banu Namar, who are from the Azd, as well as the Bedouins of Rabia, who claim to be originally from Rabia, one of the tribes of Rabia and Rafidah.

Among the Banu Mughid are the following clans: Al Naami Al Akkas, Banu Jari, Al Mansim, Al Jalal, Al Amarat, Al Saadi, Al Wa’ila, Al Al Ala, Al Mughidiyyin, Yazidis, Al Issa, Al Tamam, the family of Al-Jadei, the family of Zaidan, the family of Bawah, the family of Mufarreh, the family of Sakran, the family of Qubai’i, the family of Imanglah, the family of Mu’aram, the family of Yaman, the family of Makhlouf, the family of Madhan, the family of

Habib, the family of Amshaar.

They are from Alakum bin Aslam bin Amr bin Awf bin Kaab bin Al-Harith bin Kaab bin Malik bin Nasr bin Al-Azd. The Alakum tribe is divided into Alakum Al-Sarat and Alakum Tihama, and its most important branches are: Bani Mazin, Bani Naqrin, Bani Shalabi, Adada, Al-Qusayr, and others, and is divided into the following clans: Al-Thawabi, Al-Najim, Al-Masoudi.

The family of Yusuf, the family of Mutaihil, the family of Asim, Talada Abdul, the family of Saidi, the family of Al-Ma’an, the family of Mughidha, the family of Al-Falat, the people of Wadi Al-Tala’, the people of Wadi Al-Bayh, the family of Maqarem, the family of Ifran, the family of Amtoum, the family of Ma’lin, the family of Atta, and the people of Al-Shinah.

He descends from the people of Al-Shinah, the Abbas family, an ancient family that has been famous for its knowledge for hundreds of years.

As for Abdullah’s descendants, they are Sahra’a, the sons of Alakum, and they are the group of the great companion Sarad bin Abdullah Al-Azdi, who came to the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and pledged allegiance to him, and fought with his people the people of Jerash. And Adada are originally from Anaz bin Wael from Adnan.

They entered Alakum, as the scholar Al-Qurtubi Al-Ash’ari mentioned in his genealogy, and they are distributed in four villages: Al Farza’a, Al Mutayr, Al Muhair, and the people of Amsar.

Historically, Aalakum had the best chain of transmission to the Banu Mugheed, due to their close kinship to each other by lineage and place of origin, as they were all born to Islam. Aalakum was nicknamed Aalakum al-Hol and Aalakum al-Tala’ah.

It is clear from the name that the tribe is allied, but the lineage differed over Rufaidah’s lineage. There are those who say that they are descendants of Anz bin Wael, and there are those who say that Rufaidah is the brother of Rabia’a, who is related to Amr, and he is (Asir) bin Amer bin Haritha bin Imru’ al-Qais bin Tha’labah bin Mazen bin Al-Azd, and its sheikhdom belongs to the Al-Muthami family.

The Al-Muthami family ruled the region during some periods of the weakness of the Ayidh family, and they turned to the Saudi state and adopted the call of the sheikh.

Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab spread them in the region, and the homes of Rabi’ah and Rufaidah are located on the banks of Wadi Tabab and its tributaries, and there is a part of them in Tihama adjacent to Tabab, and it is divided into two main tribes, and each tribe branches into several tribes, and each tribe into several tribes, and these tribes are: A - Rabia tribe: It is divided into (4) major tribes: 1 - The Al-Asim family of Sarat and Tihama: They are the sons of

Due to the availability of all services, government departments, and necessary services such as electricity, markets, paved roads, and telephones as a result of the comprehensive civilizational renaissance that our beloved country has experienced and is experiencing under the shadow of our rational government, and is distinguished by its moderate, rainy climate in the winter and hot in the summer, and its transformation into a wintering ground for the residents of Sarat, it has been inhabited.

Many of its residents are not indigenous, and the most important of these tribes are: A - The Bariq tribes: They are from the Azd. Ibn Hisham Bariq said: Banu Adi bin Haritha bin Amr bin Amer bin Haritha bin Imru’ al-Qais bin Tha’labah bin Mazen bin Al-Assad bin Al-Ghouth, and they are in Shinuah.

As for Banu Amr, he is Shahr’s brother from the sons of Rabi’ah.
