Ma'add: Movements, Pre-Islamic era & Islamic era

Maʿadd ibn ʿAdnān (Arabic: مَعَدّ ٱبْن عَدْنَان) was a mythic Arab ancestor, traditionally regarded as the son of Adnan and the forefather of several northern Arab tribes, including Quda'a, Mudar, and Rabi'ah. He is considered a key figure in Adnanite genealogy, linking the northern Arabs to Ishmael ibn Ibrahim (Ishmael, son of Abraham) through Adnan.
