The Sealed Nectar | Biography of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

2. Lakhm and Judham: From them was Nasr bin Rabi`ah, founder of the Manadhirah Kings of Heerah. 3. Banu Tai’: They also emigrated northwards to settle by the so-called Aja and Salma Mountains which were thereafter named the Tai’ Mountains. 4. Kindah: They dwelt in Bahrain but were expelled to Hadramout and Najd, where they had no power base, just as they had none in Bahrain, and so they settled in Najd. There they established an important rulership although it did not last long, for the whole tribe soon faded away. Another tribe of Himyar, known as Quda`ah, also left Yemen and dwelt in the Samawah desert on the borders of Iraq. The Arabized Arabs go back in ancestry to their great-grandfather Ibrahim from a town called ``Ar’’ near Kufah on the west bank of the Euphrates in Iraq. Excavations have brought to light many details of the town, Ibrahim’s family, and the religions and social circumstances prevalent at the time.
