Saba'

Saba, the sons of Saba, on whom God sent the flood of al-Arim, according to al-Mas'udi. ²

Al-Mas'udi describes their land as among the most fertile land of Yemen and the richest in gardens and meadows. A rider would pass through their gardens with the sun never reaching him, because the land was covered with trees. They lived in the finest of life, and no king opposed them without their breaking him. ²

He then mentions, in the words of Khalid ibn Safwan, that a mouse damaged the dam, that a woman ruled them, and that a hoopoe guided them to Solomon. ²
