al-Qasri

The al-Qasri were a clan of the Bajila tribe, originating from the Tihama region. They played a significant role in the early Umayyad Caliphate, notably through Khalid ibn Abdallah al-Qasri, who governed Mecca and Iraq in the 8th century. The clan was involved in the Qays–Yaman tribal conflicts, with Khalid supporting the Yaman faction. Khalid's family included notable figures who served in various administrative and military roles during the Umayyad and early Abbasid periods.
