Zubaid or Zubayd (Arabic: زبيد) is an Arab tribe from the Yemeni Madhhij Qahtanite confederation, that is one of the largest Arab tribes in the Arab world.
It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them were Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi and Amr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle of Al-Qadisiyah.
The tribe migrated to Iraq, Syria and Ahwaz from Yemen before and after the Islamic conquest.
Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubaid.[1][2][3][4] Zubaid is mainly Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim, Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah, Obaid, Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat, and Al Bu Shabaan.
These prefixes ignored in the alphabetical ordering: Al, Al-Bu, Albu, Banu. | |
