Résumé

The Yemeni Arab family of al-Muhallab b. Abī Ṣufra and his descendants played a leading role in the early Islamic period under the Umayyad dynasty of Caliphs (661-750), acting as military commanders and governors, and continued to flourish under the succeeding Abbasid dynasty. The Omani historian Salāma b. Muslim al-ʿAwtabī al-Ṣuḥārī probably wrote in the later 11th century A.D., and in his K. al-Ansāb deals with important South- Arabian families such as the Muhallabids. Dr. Martin Hinds has provided a translation of and commentary on the relevant section of this history, utilising four manuscripts of the Ansāb and by his extensive reference to these and by his remedying the deficiencies of the uncritical printed text (Oman, 1981-1984). The whole study throws light on the course of early Islamic history in its phase of conquest and expansion and on the part of the South-Arabian tribal groups within it.
