Overview
A branch of Kinana who lived at al-Kadid. Ibn Ishaq knows them only through the expedition of Ghalib ibn Abd Allah against them: the Muslims raided them at the first light of dawn, killing those they killed and driving off the camels, and the people pursued them, but the flood of the Qadid valley came between them. 1 2
Source flags
- Their attribution to Kinana comes from the editors' vocalisation, not from Ibn Ishaq's text, so it needs a second source (needs_source). 1
