Ancestry
The tribe descended from Taym ibn Murrah ibn Ka'b ibn Lu'ay ibn Ghalib ibn Fihr ibn Malik ibn An-Nadr ibn Kinanah (Arabic: تَيْم ٱبْن مُرَّة ٱبْن كَعْب ٱبْن لُؤَي ٱبْن غَالِب ٱبْن فِهْر ٱبْن مَالِك ٱبْن ٱلنَّضْر ٱبْن كِنَانَة). Taym was a member of the Quraysh al-Bitah (i.e. Qurayshis living near the Kaaba in Mecca), and an uncle of the Qurayshi chief Qusai ibn Kilab, who was a paternal ancestor of the Islamic Nabi (Prophet) Muhammad.[1]
The descendants of Banu Taym are nowadays widely expanded throughout the Arab World in different subclans such as in Yemen, Egypt, Somalia, Oman, Pakistan but also places like Bangladesh and India.
