Zubayd or Zubaid (Template:Lang-ar) is a large Arab tribe that migrated to Iraq, and Ahwaz before and after the Islamic conquest. The tribe was an offshoot of the Yemeni tribe of Madhhij, which is a Qahtanite Arab tribe. The Zubayd tribe hails from and derives its name from a town on Yemen's western coastal plain known as Zabid.[1]
Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubayd. During the late 18th century and the 19th century, the bulk of today's Shi'a Zubayd in Iraq converted to Shia Islam.[2][3][4][5] However, the Bani Hukayyim section (of the Zubaid) only converted to Shi'ism during the latter part of the 19th century.[6]
Some sections of Zubayd, such as Al-Ajeel tribe in Tikrit, and Al-Jhaishat in Suwaira remain Sunni Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim, Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah, Obaid, Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat and Al Suwaed (Al-Saedi).
