Al A'idh

Al A'idh were an Arab tribe of central Arabia, traditionally traced to the Banu Amir of the Hawazin. Their clans ranged through Najd, with families settling in towns such as Sudair and al-Majma'ah.

Their leading houses supplied local emirs: Zamil ibn Uthman ruled al-Kharj in 1687, while Hasan ibn Rashid al-Bajadi held al-Yamama until his death in 1781. The Al Ufaysan rose with the first Saudi state; after leading campaigns to the Gulf coast, Ibrahim ibn Ufaysan became emir of Unaizah in 1814.
