(A Genealogical Table of ý Tribes of ý Naturalig’d Arabs, being ý Descendants of Ismael ý son of Abraham by a Daughter of Modâd ý Jorhamite)
The Descent from Ismael to Adnân are confessedly uncertain. The most approved series enumerates eight Generations between those two Persons in the following order; Ismael, Kidâr, Hamal, Nahet, Salâmân, al Homeifa, al Yasa, Odad, Odd, Adnân. Al Beihaki reckons one Generation less, differing also in the Names, in this manner; Ismael, Nabet, Yashhab, Yârab, Yârah, Yahûr, al Mokawwam, Odad, Adnân. But Mohamed himself, if a Tradition of his Wife Omm Salma is to be depended on, counted no more than three Persons, viz. Berâ, Zeid, and Odad, between Ismael and Adnân; Berâ being the same with Nabet, and Zeid with al Homeifa.
