Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the origin of the Aws and Khazraj? And is it true that they trace their lineage to Yemen?
Answer:
Yes, they are from the tribes of Yemen, from Qahtan, because the Arabs are divided into two groups: Qahtanite and Adnani. The Qahtanites originated in Yemen. They scattered after the dam broke, after the dam of Ma'rib, Saba', burst open. They scattered to the Ghassanids in the Levant, the Lakhmids in al-Hirah, and the Aws and Khazraj in Yathrib. They scattered across the lands. This is why it is said that they were "scattered to the winds of Saba'" and "We tore them apart, every torn piece," because they disbelieved in the blessing, so Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, brought about their consequence.
