In Arabic:

سعد بن موسى بن الزبير بن عبد الرحمن بن إسحاق بن أحمد بن محمد بن الحسين بن علي بن محمد بن حمزة المطهر بن عبد الله بن أيوب بن قاسم بن أحمد بن علي بن عيسى بن يحيى بن جعفر بن علي بن محمد الجواد بن علي الرضا بن موسى الكاظم بن جعفر الصادق بن محمد الباقر بن علي بن زين بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب بن عبد المطلب بن هاشم بن عبد مناف بن قصي بن كلاب بن مرة بن كعب بن لؤي بن غالب بن فهر بن مالك بن النضر بن كنانة بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن إلياس بن مضر بن نزار بن معد بن عدنان.

History

The tribe began in western Arabia as a branch of the Banu Quraish, called Banu Hashim. This tribe was descended of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, a tribal leader of the Quraish, and also a rich merchant who donated food and water to the pilgrims of the Ka’aba.{{Cite book |last=Ibn Kathir |title=As Seerah an Nabawiyyah |date= 18 July 2019|publisher= Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp|isbn=9781791776473}} His brother, who he had struggled against since birth(they were nearly conjoined twins), was the forefather of the Banu Umayyah, which is important since later on as it is tension with this tribe that caused the Hashemites to migrate to Iraq out of the Hijaz.{{Cite book |last=C.E. Bosworth |title=The Islamic Dynasties(Rashidun, Umayyad & Abbasid) |date=2004 |isbn=9780748621378}}{{Cite book |last=Al Ta’bari |title=The Caliphate of Yazīd bin Mu'awiyah |date=January 1990 |publisher=New York University |isbn=9780791400401}}

One of Hashim’s descendants was Ali R.A., who was an honourable Sahaba, and a competent Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate.{{Cite book |last=Sheikh Muhammad al Khudary |title=Itmam al-Wafa fi Sirat al-Khulafa |date= 2012|publisher= Turath|isbn=9781906949181}} He had 2 sons with one of his wives, Fatima R.A. - Husayn and Hasan, who would both give rise to the 2 branches of the Alaouite(descendants of Ali) Hashemites. Towards the end of his reign, tensions were brewing between the Banu Umayyah and the Banu Hashim, which led to a terrible war. The First Fitna was declared and after a series of bloody battles, the Husaynid Hashemites were defeated and sought refuge in Kufa, Iraq.{{Cite book |last=Mahmoud Abdi Daoud |title=The Jewel of Maydh: Sheikh Ishaq al Hashimi |date=December 2012 |publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform |isbn=9781482603057}}

It was in this region(Samarrah) that a great Sheikh named Ishaq was born. He was only 10 when he and his family(one of his brothers was Nasir, the progenitor of the Al Bu Nasir tribe. His tribe stayed in Yemen for a while, until returning back to Iraq) fled to Yemen because of a brewing war between the Abbasids and rebellious forces in the region.Therefore, he grew up in Yemen, got married, and decided to set off to Selah across the Bab el Mandeb. He stayed there for a short while, before traversing many cities, preaching and calling people to Shafi’i Islam until finally settling in a town called Maydh, and marrying a woman there from the tribe of Dir.

Of his progeny was Sa’ad ibn Musa, the forefather of the Al Bu Sa’ad.

Culture

Traditionally, the Al Bu Sa’ad’s main occupation was nomadic like the Bedouins.{{Cite book |last=Beatrice Manz |title=Nomadism in the Middle East |date=2 December 2021 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781009213387}}{{Cite book |last=I.M.

The sabayyah(Arabic: سابايه), a type of flatbread traditionally eaten with honey.{{Cite web |title=Sabaayad (Somali Flatbread) |url=https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/246109/sabaayad-somali-flatbread/ |access-date=2024-07-04 |website=Allrecipes |language=en}} It is similar to the Maghrebi Msemmen{{Cite web |last=Mouttaki |date=2009-06-25 |title=Moroccan Msemmen Recipe |url=https://marocmama.com/msemmen/ |access-date=2024-07-04 |language=en-US}}.File:خبز_ملوح.jpg
