Hawazin

Ha'wa zin were the mighty Pre-Islamic Arab tribe concentrated in the area around Taif in the Arabian peninsula. Many of the tribe members were dispatched after the Islamic conquests to Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, and Spain. Arab genealogist trace the tribe to Hawazin bin Mansour bin Ekrama bin Khafsa bin Qais Ailan bin Moudir bin Nizar bin Ma'ad bin Adnan.

The descendants of Adnan (also known as the Adnanites) are part of the northern tribes of Arabia. Historians trace the tribe roots to Ishmael son of Abraham through the following bloodline:

Adnan ibn Add ibn Send ibn Napyot (Nebaioth) ibn Ishmael ibn Abraham ibn Azar (Terah) ibn Nahoor ibn Srooj ibn Ra'o ibn Phaleg ibn Aber ibn Shaleh ibn Arpheckshad ibn Sam (Shem) ibn Noah ibn Lamek ibn Motoshaleh ibn Edres (Enoch) ibn Yared ibn Mehlaiel ibn Qenan ibn Anosh ibn Sheeth ibn Adam.

The tribes citied under this blood line are sometimes reffered to as Ishmaelites.
