 In the process of the tribal emigrations, some septs of Quda‘a reached the borders of Syria where
they settled down. They belonged to the family of Sulaih bin Halwan, of whose offspring were the
sons of Duj‘am bin Sulaih known as Ad-Duja‘ima. Such septs of Quda‘a were used by the

Byzantines
in the defence of the Byzantine borders against both Arab Bedouin raiders and the Persians, and
enjoyed autonomy for a considerable phase of time which is said to have lasted for the whole
second century A.D. One of their most famous kings was Zyiad bin Al-Habula. Their authority
however came to an end upon defeat by the Ghassanides who were consequently granted the proxy
rulership over the Arabs of Syria and had Dumat Al-Jandal as their headquarters, which lasted until
13
the battle of Yarmuk in the year 13 A.H. Their last king Jabala bin Al-Aihum embraced Islam during
the reign of the Chief of Believers, ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him).
