The Banu Jusham (Arabic: بنو جشم) were a large sub-tribe in the Arabian Peninsula during the time of Mohammed. According to genealogists and various oral traditions, they are the descendants of Jusham ibn Mu'awiyah ibn Bakr ibn Hawazin.
The lineage of some of the branch of Barga of the Utayba tribe is traced to Hawazin through Jusham ibn Muawiyah. In the 21st century, the name has slightly evolved for one clan from Banu Jusham, or al-Jush'ami to al-Qathami.[1]
Branches[]
The main tribes that constituted this sub-tribe were as follows:
- Bani Guzayah
- Bani Ouseema
- Bani Oday
- Bani Eshan
Notable members[]
Dorayd bin Al Soma, a poet and a knight who is said in Pre-Islamic Arabic folklore to have never been defeated in battle.
