From Istifan al-Duwayhi’s “Tarikh al-Azminah”:
“In the year 1309, there was strife in Hauran between the Qayssiyah and the Yamaniyah and scores of people were killed”.
I wonder whether one should look towards Hauran for the source of the Qayssi-Yamani factionalism in Aqura, in light of the connections between the two areas. The family of Malik ibn Balghayth, the Yamani muqaddam of ‘Aqura was originally from Hauran.
