Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about "Saba'": what is meant by it? Is it a man, or a woman, or a land? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather it is a man to whom ten sons were born. Six of them settled in Yemen and four of them settled in Syria. As for the Yemeni sons, they are: Madhhij, Kindah, al-Azd, the Ash'ariyyun, Anmar and Himyar - all of them Arabs. As for the Syrian sons, they are: Lakhm, Judham, Amilah and Ghassan."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, in whom there is weakness. The remaining narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy).
