Zubaid orZubayd (Arabic:زُبَيْد) is an Arab tribe from the YemeniMadhhaj confederation, that is one of the largest, richesttribes of Arabia.
It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them wereAbu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi andAmr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle ofAl-Qadisiyah.
According toIbn Khaldun, the Zubaid clan is one of the principal tribes ofMadhhaj and comes from the mountainous region surrounding al-Janad - near modern-dayTaiz inYemen. He wrote, "The lands ofMadhhaj include the mountainous region near al-Janad (الجَنَد) and are inhabited by the tribes of ‘Ans, Zubaid, and Murad."[1] The region of al-Janad, mentioned in his text, is a historic area located near modern-day Taiz in Yemen. It served as an important administrative and cultural hub during the pre-Islamic and early Islamic periods. Many descendants of Zubaid still live in these historical lands of Madhhaj to this day and nearby regions in Yemen. The tribe also migrated toIraq,Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Arabian Peninsula before and after theIslamic conquest.
Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubaid.[2][3][4][5] Zubaid descendants are mainly Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, includingDulaim,Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah,Obaid,Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Busaraya, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat, and Al Bu Shabaan.
