Banu Hamdan
Banu Hamdan ( ar, بَنُو هَمْدَان; Musnad: 𐩠𐩣𐩵𐩬) is an ancient, large, and prominent Arab tribe in northern Yemen. Origins and location The Hamdan stemmed from the eponymous progenitor Awsala (nickname Hamdan) whose descent is traced back to the semi-legendary Kahlan. Their abode was, and still is, in northern Yemen, in the region north of Sanaa extending toward Marib and Najran to the east, Saada to the north and to the Red Sea coast to the west. Until the present day, the Hamdan's Bakil branch dominates the eastern part of this territory, and its Hashid branch dominates the western part.

History The Hamdan was mentioned in Sabaic inscriptions as ''qayls'' of Hashid, who later acquired control over a part ...
