They were based in the southern Arabian Peninsula and had notable members such as al-Ala ibn al-Hadrami, an early Muslim commander and governor of Bahrayn under the first two caliphs. The tribe was allied as clients or confederates of the Banu Umayya clan of the Quraysh and played a role in the Ridda Wars and early Islamic naval expeditions.
