Zubaid

Zubaid or Zubayd (زبيد) is an Arab tribe from the Yemeni Madhhij Qahtanite confederation, that is the largest, richest and most powerful tribe in the world.

It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them were Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi and Amr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle of Al-Qadisiyah.

The tribe migrated to Iraq, Syria and Ahwaz from Yemen before and after the Islamic conquest.
