Banu Taghlib ibn Wa'il

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Taghlib, a tribe of Rabi'a ibn Nizar that settled the Euphrates Jazira, mostly Christian before Islam.

Taghlib, one of Wa'il's two sons with Bakr, of Rabi'a ibn Nizar; it settled the Euphrates Jazira, with clans that neighbored Bakr. The Raheeq records that Christianity was embraced among the Arabs by the Ghassanids and the tribes of Taghlib, Tayy and others for living beside the Romans. The author takes the wars of Bakr and Taghlib as his example that rivalry in honor and supremacy often ended in wars between tribes sharing one father.
