- Source: Banu Dabbah
Banu Dabbah (Arabic: بنو ضبة) is an Arab tribe of Adnanite descent. They merged with the Banu Tamim tribe and their descendants are considered to be part of both tribes. The Banu Dabbah currently reside in Oman and the Hijaz.
Tribal lineage
They are descended from Dabbah ibn 'Udd, whose full lineage (according to Ibn Hazm) is Dabbah, son of 'Udd, son of Tabikha, son of Ilyas, son of Mudar, son of Nizar, son of Ma'ad, son of Adnan. This lineage hence makes the Banu Dabbah a tribe descended from the Mudar tribal group as well as an Adnanite tribe.
The Banu Dabbah merged with Banu Tamim after the progenitor of the latter, Tamim ibn Murr, married a woman from the former.
History
After the Conquest of Mecca in 630 CE, all of the Arabian tribes in the Hijaz and Mecca became Muslims; the Banu Dabbah potentially were amongst them. After the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the Banu Dabbah fought alongside the forces of Aisha, Zubayr and Talha in the Battle of the Camel in 656 CE.
In modern times, the Banu Dabbah migrated to the country of Oman while some of them still lived in their villages at Najd.
