Their dominion included the regions of Maragha and Urmia to the east, Arbil, Sinjar, and parts of Jazira to the south and west, and Barkari, Hakkari to the north[1][2] ruling between the year 906 to 1080.

The name of the Tribe is derived from geographical term for the region of Irbil, which is preserved in the name of the Nestorian diocese, Adiabene (HaSayyap).[3] According to Ibn Hawqal the region of Jazira was the Summer pasture of Hadhabani Kurds,[4] about 10th century they gradually immigrated northward to the areas around Lake Urmia with Ushnu as their summer capital. They ruled the area for a while but later split to a few branches who spread across Azerbaijan, and Caucasus. The Shaddadids and Ayyubids were descendant of one of the Hadhabani branches.[5][6][7]
