The question put to the society was about the house of Kulayb, al-Zir and al-Jarw — leaders of all Ma'add and kings and shaykhs of Rabi'ah: does anything of them remain in Anazah today? The search had to be made in today's Anazah, among the remnants of Anz ibn Wa'il and those of Bakr, Taghlib and the rest of Rabi'ah who mixed with them after Khaybar — first of all among the remnants of Taghlib, since Kulayb, al-Jarw and al-Zir were its traditional leaders, and researchers have often said that their descendants live today among the Dana Bishr.
The author then investigates the history of the tribe whose traces are found in Khaybar in the fifth century AH, pausing at its clans and at a small family within it, Al Husni — the oldest family of the Dana Bishr of Taghlib — with its monuments, oral traditions and recorded migrations in Khaybar, the lands of Rabi'ah and the Khabur river. Asked whether the names al-Jarw and al-Zir were found among them, they answered yes. From there begins the historical search for these names among these ancient clans, and the account of their conflicts with the Ashraf and the Qatadah over Khaybar, the lifeline of the Arabian Peninsula.
