Abstract:
The Kinda tribe was one of the important Qahtani tribes of Yemen and resided near Hadramaut, until they later migrated to Najd. Due to the effective role of Al-Ash'ath ibn Qays al-Kindi and his family in some of the events of the early Islamic period, understanding the background of his tribe (Kinda) during the Jahiliyyah period is of great importance. Researching this subject helps us better understand many dark and ambiguous issues of early Islamic history, including the Ridda movement, conquests, etc., in which the family of Al-Ash'ath played a role.
Machine summary:
Due to the effective role of Ash'ath ibn Qays al-Kindi and his family in some of the events of the early Islamic period, understanding the background of his tribe (Kinda) during the Jahiliyyah period is of great importance.
[20] Another opinion regarding the cause of migration and the subsequent rule of Hujr Akil al-Murar[21] over Najd can be stated as follows: in the tribe of Bakr ibn Wa'il, the unwise gradually gained superiority over the wise and had become dominant in their governance to the point where the powerful would eliminate the weak.
For the first time in history, Kinda was mentioned in the fourth century AD,[25] but apparently, the famous founder of this rule was Hujr, nicknamed Akil al-Murar, the half-brother of Hissan ibn Tubba', the Himyarite king, to whom Hissan gave the rule of some of his loyal tribes in Arabia around the year 480 AD.
[45] The Decline of the Kindites and Their Return to Hadramaut After Harith was able to take control of the government of Hirah, he was recognized as powerful among other Arab tribes, and they entered into alliances with him.
[61] After the murder of Qays by the Murad tribe, his son Ma'dikarb, known as "Ash'ath," took over the leadership of the Kindites in Hadramaut.
