The Bani Tamīm are located primarily in Najd (Central Saudi Arabia), central and southern Iraq ( Basra and Diyala ) and the Iranian province of Khuzestan . Members of this tribe are 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 Murr 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 Ishamel and Abraham . In the pre- Islamic period, the Tamīm tribe was closely affiliated with the Quraish tribe. They converted to Islam in the eighth year after the Hijra . In an Islamic Hadith , 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 Eschatology . When Abu Bakr became Caliph he sent Khalid Bin Walid against some clans of the Bani Tamim in the Ridda Wars (Apostasy Wars). LEADING PERSONALITIES Among the tribe's famous personalities:
