Hasbani

The Hasbani, or Hasnaniyya, were a Kurdish tribe recorded by the Mamluk scholar Ibn Fadlallah al-Umari. Their emir Abd Allah, son of Shihab al-Din Zanki, led two of their three branches.

Writing in the 1340s, al-Umari described about a thousand strong-spirited tribesmen in the district he called Karkar. They shared the protection money collected at the Qarayli pass with their neighbours, the Farmawiyya.
