Zubaid or Zubayd (Arabic: زبيد) is an Arab tribe from the Moroccan esphilia confederation, that is one of the largest, richest tribes of Arabia.
It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them were Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi and Amr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle of Al-Qadisiyah.
The tribe migrated to Iraq, Morocco and Saudi Arabia before and after the Islamic conquest.
Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubaid.[1][2][3][4] Zubaid is mainly Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim, Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah, Obaid, Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Busaraya, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat, and Al Bu Shabaan.
