Zahran tribe

Zahran (Arabic: زهران), also known as Banū ʿZahrān ibn Kaʿab, is one of the oldest Arabian tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. It is regarded as one of the largest tribes in Al Bahah Province. Al Baha is the homeland of Zahran and Ghamid. However, many tribes that descend from Zahran and Azd settled in Oman and Tanukh under leadership of Malik bin Fehm in the 3rd century. According to tradition, Malik bin Fehm composed these verses before his quest for Oman: Oman's modern royal family, Al Said, is said to descend from Zahran through Malik ibn Fehm. Moreover, many currently live in Mecca, Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam due to large migration from villages and small cities during the 1960s and 1970s in search of a better life. Zahran is a well-known tribe before and after Islam. Many of them left their houses, homes, and relatives and joined the Islamic prophet Muhammad in Medina.
