Al-tamimi

This is not the sub-clan of Quraish, for that, see Banu Taim

Banī Tamīm or Banu Tamim or Banu Tameem (Arabic: بنو تميم) is one of the largest of all Arab tribes. The tribe\'s history goes back to pre-Islamic times and millions descend from the tribe today in the Arabian Peninsula and neighboring countries such as Iraq and Jordan.The word Tamim in Arabic means strong and solid.

History

The Bani Tamīm are located primarily in Najd (Central Saudi Arabia), central and southern Iraq (Basra and Diyala) and the Iranian province of Khuzestan and in south and north of yemen [Hadramot, and Taiz city]. Members of this tribe are commonly identifiable by the surnames of "Al-Tamimi" or "al-Tamīmī", which can be spelled as "Al-Timimi" or "Al-Temimi" in reflection of the local accent.

The tribe\'s progenitor Tamīm ibn Murra is said to have lived in the 1st century CE and is reported to have met one of Jesus Christ\'s disciples. Through their ancestor Tamīm, the tribe traces its lineage to Adnan and the prophets Ishmael and Abraham.

They converted to Islam in the eighth year after the Hijra^{[citation needed]}. In an Islamic hadith, Prophet Muhammad remarked that the Tamīm tribe would be the most vigorous of his community in fighting the Dajjal (the Antichrist), an evil figure in Islamic eschatologyDisplay.
