Beja

In al-Baladhuri: a desert people with camels and herds whose land — a month's barren march of rugged mountains from Islam's lands — holds the gold mines; they raided Egypt's land and withheld the mines' dues, so Muhammad al-Qummi warred on them in al-Mutawakkil's time — their camels skittish at everything, he hung bells on his horses and the camels bolted — and they made peace in 241 on tribute and baqt.
