Their biography is repeated in the frequent travels, emigration and instability during their travels from their homes by origin, and their biography indicates that when the tribe enlarged and narrowed their area of residence in Yemen, Najd, and Hijaz, they gathered to take opinions about what they need to do, and some of them said we conquer the tribes, and this suggestion was rejected because most of those in the neighborhood Among them were clans and sub-clans from the Harb tribe, and from them all five gathered together, i.e. those who were united by the fifth grandfather and suggested leaving and settled their opinion on him.
And the last thing known of their cousins is that they went to the Dumat Al-Jandal area in the north, settled there for a period of time, and then moved towards the Levant.
