Banu Asad
The Banu Asad are an Arab tribe originally from north-central Arabia. After Muhammad's death they joined the Ridda Wars under the prophet Tulayha, and later many settled in Iraq around Kufa. From the tenth to the twelfth centuries their leading family, the Mazyadids, ruled the middle Euphrates, from 1101 from their new city of al-Hilla.
