ADNAN REPLACING QIDAR, NIZAR AND MA'AD LINEAGE

In the 5th century AD the Kindites and Himyarites known the tribes of Nejd as the Ma'ad tribes. The Adnani term became favored after Islam, because it was said that whenever Prophet Muhammad spoke of his ancestry he would cite 21 genrations between himself and Adnan stopping at ‘Adnan and saying: Genealogists tell lies and did not go farther than him. A group of scholars, however, favoured the probability of going beyond ‘Adnan attaching no significance to the aforementioned Prophetic Hadith. They went on to say that there were exactly 40 fathers between ‘Adnan and Abraham and 40 fathers between Abraham and Qahtan[http://thearabhistory.com/adnan


THE TRIBES ORIGIN


Ismail in Mecca

When Abraham left him with his mom Hagar in Mecca he was found with his mom by the Qahtani tribe of Jurhum , who took care of Ismail as one of their own. When Ismail became a young man, he learned Arabic at the hand of the tribe of Jurhum, who loved him with great admiration and gave him one of their women as a wife, soon after his mother died. Having wanted to see his wife and son again, Abraham came to Makkah, after Ismail's marriage, but he didn't find him at home. He asked Ismail's wife about her husband and how they were doing. She complained of poverty, so he asked her to tell Ismail to change his doorstep. Ismail understood the message, divorced his wife and got married to the daughter of Mudad Bin Amr , chief of the tribe of Jurhum .

Once more, Abraham came to see his son, but again didn't find him at home. He asked his new wife the same previous question, to which she thanked God. Abraham asked her to tell Ismail to keep his doorstep and went back to Palestine .

A third time, Abraham came to Makkah to find Ismail sharpening an arrow under a lofty tree near Zamzam . The meeting, after a very long journey of separation, was very touching for a father so affectionate and a so dutiful and righteous son. This time, father and son built Al-Ka'abah and raised its pillars, and Abraham, in compliance with God's Commandment, called unto people to make pilgrimage to it.


The Sons of Ismail

By the grace of God, Ismail had twelve sons from the daughter of Mudad , whose names were Nabet , Qidar , Edbael, Mebsham, Mishma', Duma, Micha, Hudud, Yetma, Yetour, Nafis and Qidman, and who ultimately formed twelve tribes inhabiting Makkah and trading between Yemen, geographical Syria and Egypt. Later on, these tribes spread all over the Near East. All their tidings went into oblivion except for the descendants of Nabet and Qidar .

Descendants of Qidar , the son of Ismail , lived long in Makkah increasing in number, of them issued Adnan and son Ma'ad, to whom the Adnanian Arabs traced back their ancestry. Adnan is the twenty-first grandfather in the series of the Prophetic ancestry. http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/SM_tsn/ch1s1.html
