Abidah (tribe)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abidah (Arabic: قبيلة عَبِيدة) are an Arab tribe located in eastern Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia in of Sarat Ubaidah and Riyadh and Eastern region[1][2]
The Abidah are the descendants of Ma'awyah bin Amr bin Mawyah bin al-Harth bin Yazid bin Harb bin Ka'ab bin Alaah bin Jalad bin Madhhaj bin Azd bin Zaid bin Yashjub bin Arib bin Zaid bin Kahlan bin Saba.[3][4][5] After the final collapse of the Marib Dam, a large member of Al-Azd tribes' members emigrated and spread across the Arabian Peninsula, most of them what is now Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait. The Abidah tribe are known as Abidah Abrad to distinguish it from Qahtani Abidah Sarat that reside in Sarat Ubaida in Asir, southwestern Saudi Arabia.[2]
