Anizah

The Anizah were an Arab tribal group of the Rabi'a. In 1337 they were Bedouin between Khaybar and the Syrian desert, listed by al-Umari among the allies of the Al Fadl emirs.

Anizah migrants did most to settle al-Qassim in the fifteenth century. Under the Ottomans they controlled Khaybar and al-Ula and collected summer tribute from Hawran villages. The Hasana entered Syria in the mid-eighteenth century and held the Hama and Homs plains; the Ruwallah followed in the early nineteenth century, rivaling the Shammar.
