Najd, Central Arabia · Polytheism (pre-Islamic); Islam (post-conversion)

The Bahila were an Arab tribe based in Najd, central Arabia, known for being partly settled and partly semi-nomadic. They first appear in historical records during the early Islamic period and participated in the Muslim conquests, with many migrating to Syria, Basra, and later Khurasan. As a sub-tribe of the Qays, they were involved in the Qays–Yaman conflicts during the Umayyad era. Notable members include the scholar al-Asma'i and the general Qutayba ibn Muslim.
