al-Azd

Al-Azd: a Kahlan clan that emigrated from Yemen under Imran ibn Amr Muzayqiya', whose branches scattered to Medina, Mecca, Oman and Syria.

The Azd's emigration followed the resolve of their chief and elder Imran ibn Amr Muzayqiya'; they moved about the lands of Yemen sending out scouts, then made north ¹.

Of them: Tha'laba ibn Amr, who went toward the Hijaz then settled Medina — from his sons are the Aws and the Khazraj, sons of Haritha ibn Tha'laba; Haritha ibn Amr — Khuza'a — who settled Marr al-Zahran then took possession of the Sanctuary; Imran ibn Amr, who settled Oman; and Jafna ibn Amr, who went to Syria and became father of the Ghassanid kings — while the tribes of Nasr ibn al-Azd stayed at Tihama, the Azd Shanu'a ¹.
