Banu Yam lang ar are a large tribe native to Najran Province in Saudi Arabia , and are the principal tribe of that area. They belong to the Qahtanite branch of Arabian tribes, specifically the group known as Hamdan , and are therefore native to southwestern Arabia . Their traditional way of life was well suited to life in the Arabian Desert and East Sahero Arabian xeric shrublands they once lived in. Most have now moved in to small villages and given up their once nomadic way of life. The tribe of Yam was also the progenitor of two other important tribes the Al Murrah and the Ujman of eastern Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf coast. The Yam are notable among the tribes of Saudi Arabia for the vast majority of its members traditionally follow the small Isma ili branch of Shi ite Islam . Religious leadership is currently in the hands of the al Makrami clan , who joined Yam through alliance some time in the 17th century. Members of the tribe can be found throughout Saudi Arabia due to human migration migration , particularly the areas around Jeddah and Dammam . Unlike some other tribes of southwestern Saudi Arabia , Yam have traditionally had a large bedouin section, due to the proximity of their territories to the formidable desert known as the Empty Quarter . They are also unlike some of their neighboring tribes in that they are recorded to have repeatedly raided the neighboring region of Najd , reaching as far north as Dhruma near Riyadh during the time of the First Saudi State in 1775, and causing much panic.

Al Shamsi is a very large Arab ian tribe with many sub tribes that mostly inhabit the northeastern part of the Arabian peninsula. They are located mainly in Northern Oman , the United Arab Emirates , and to a lesser extent Kuwait , Qatar , eastern Saudi Arabia and Bahrain . Due to the large nature of the tribe, there are today in fact many branches that trace themselves to Al Shamsi tribe. Origins It is presumed that Al Shamsi tribe was the progeny of who was said to be the brother of khraiban al nuaimi , and in turn the father of the Al Nuaim i tribe. Therefore, there are two sections of Al Nuaim i tribe, one is Al Bu Khraiban Al Nuaimi and the second is Al Bu Shamis Al Shamsi . Both tribes claim lineage to the Azd tribe from Yemen in around the 3rd Century AD, which immigrated from Ma rib after the destruction of the dam. The Azd are Qahtanite Arabs and not Adnan ite. http www.familytreedna.com public ArabianPeninsulaDNAProject Migration It is widely thought that the Al Shamsi tribe immigrated from Western Arabia to settle around the Sanina area an inland desert area between the Southern United Arab Emirates and Oman border or more commonly known as Al Hamawiya region during the late 17th century. Later migrations led some of them to Al Ain Buraimi oasis towns while other migrated eastward towards the Omani coastal areas. http www.sharjahmuseums.ae Docs Edu Bait 20Al 20Naboodah 20Guide 20Book 20English.pdf http www.highbeam.com doc 1G1 45962569.html The Al Shamsi also were the rulers of Hamriyah Port until the early 1960 s before it fell under the rule of the Sharjah emirate Sharjah Emirate.

cleanup date July 2010 Tayy lang ar is a large and ancient Arabian tribe belonging to the southern or Qahtanite branch of Arab tribes. Their original homeland was the area of the two mountains Aja and Salma in north central Arabia currently Ha il Province , Saudi Arabia , though, like all Qahtanite tribes, it is believed they originally moved there from Yemen . The tribe shared the area with Bani Assad and Bani Tamim , and its members included both nomads and settled town dwellers. The tribe is believed to have included a number of Christians before Islam , though most of the tribe s members are reported to have been pagan . The most famous figure from Tayy in that period was the legendary Hatim Al Ta i Hatim of Tayy , said to be a Christian, and renowned among the Arabs for generosity and hospitality. He also figures in the Arabian Nights . The early Islamic historical sources report that his son, Adiyy ibn Hatim , whom they sometimes refer to as the king of Tayy, converted to Islam before Muhammad s death. He is particularly revered by the Shi a , who consider him a partisan of Ali . Another figure from Tayy during this period was Zayd al Khayr , a prominent member of Tayy who is said to have led Tayy s delegation to Muhammad accepting Islam . Though sections of Tayy began migrating to neighboring regions such as Iraq and Syria before Islam, Tayy participated heavily in the Muslim Conquests of the early centuries of Islam , with sections or individual members of the tribe settling in many parts of the Islamic Empire, including Lebanon and Egypt. Most of these, however, were later assimilated into the general populations of these areas or into other tribes. Though no longer existing as an autonomous tribal grouping since the early Islamic era, Tayy has been the progenitor of several other tribes in Iraq , Syria , Saudi Arabia , and Kuwait . Among oral tradition, the Arabian Tribe of Shammar is most associated with being descendants of Tayy. Other tribes that cl ... more details
