Hi, Does Tim Conway really live in Gallatin,TN?
Sorry, what exactly are you referring to? The first written reference to Al-Saud's clan being from Bani Hanifa comes from a 17th century manuscript written by Jabr Ibn Sayyar Al-Khaldi, the emir of Al-Gessab, if that's what you're wondering about. It's also the view of Hamad Al-Jassir who was the most credible scholar in this field. This does nothing to tie Al Saud further to monotheism because Bani Hanifa are not reported to have been monotheists before Islam. In fact many anti-Wahhabi polemics emphasized the "Bani Hanifa connection" in order to tie Al Saud with "Musaylima the Liar". Slackerlawstudent 10:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
