The terms Qahtanite and Qahtani ((アラビア語:قَحْطَانِي); transliterated: Qahtani) refers to Arabs who originate from the southern region of the Arabian Peninsula, especially from Yemen.〔 ( -->Qahtan Qahtan ), Britannica Online Encyclopedia, 2009, webpage: . 〕〔 notes "Qahtan are divided into the two sub-groups of Himyar and Kahlan".〕 According to Islamic tradition, the Qahtanites are pure Arabs, unlike the Adnanites who are "Arabized Arabs", descended from Adnan.〔 "The ‘arabicised or arabicising Arabs’, on the contrary, are believed to be the descendants of Ishmael through Adnan, but in this case the genealogy does not match the Biblical line exactly. The label ‘arabicised’ is due to the belief that Ishmael spoke Hebrew until he got to Mecca, where he married a Yemeni woman and learnt Arabic. Both genealogical lines go back to Sem, son of Noah, but only Adnanites can claim Abraham as their ascendant, and the lineage of Mohammed, the Seal of Prophets (khatim al-anbiya'), can therefore be traced back to Abraham. Contemporary historiography unveiled the lack of inner coherence of this genealogical system and demonstrated that it finds insufficient matching evidence; the distinction between Qahtanites and Adnanites is even believed to be a product of the Umayyad Age, when the war of factions (al-niza al-hizbi) was raging in the young Islamic Empire."〕 The Qahtani people are divided into the two sub-groups of Himyar (Himyartes) and Kahlan (Kahlanis).〔 ==Traditional Arab genealogy== Arab tradition maintains that a semi-legendary ancestral figure named ''Qahtan''〔〔 and his 24 sons are the progenitors of the southern inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula known as Qahtani. Early Islamic historians identified Qahtan with the Yoqtan (Joktan) son of Eber of the Hebrew Bible (Gen. 10:25-29).〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Ruqaiyyah Waris )〕 Among the sons of Qahtan are noteworthy figures like A'zaal (believed by Arabs to have been the original name of Sana'a, although its current name has been attested since the Iron Age) and Hadhramaut. Another son is Ya'rub, and his son Yashjub is the father of 'Abd Shams, who is also called Saba. All Yemeni tribes trace their ancestry back to this "Saba", either through Himyar or Kahlan, his two sons. The Qahtani people are divided into the two sub-groups of Himyar and Kahlan, who represent the settled Arabs of the south and their nomadic kinsmen (nomads).〔 The Kahlan division of Qahtan consists of 4 subgroups: the Ta' or Tayy, the Azd group which invaded Oman, the 'Amila-Judham group of Palestine, and the Hamdan-Madhhij group who mostly remain in Yemen.〔 The Kahlan branch includes the following tribes: Azd (Aus and Khazraj, Bariq, Ghassan, Khuza'a and Daws), Hamdan, Khath'am, Bajflah, Madhhij, Murad, Zubaid and Nakh', Ash'ar, Lakhm and Kindah.〔 Jirjī Zaydān, David Samuel Margoliouth, ( -->lpg=PA45&dq=%22Kahlanite%22&source=bl&ots=ISfHdsj_CQ&sig=uLhM1Ay1a_3m20OzmNtxgTj9l7c&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result ''Umayyads and ʻAbbásids: Being the Fourth Part of Jurjí Zaydán'' ), (about Islamic Empire), 1907, p.45. 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Qahtanite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
