In Arabian folklore, Ya'rub was said to be one of greatest Arab kings; he was the first to rule the entire lands of [[Yemen]] (southwestern [[Arabia]]). He expelled or destroyed the remaining Adites (the ones who survived the destruction of their former kingdom) and consolidated the empire of Yemen, and gave to his brothers Oman and Hadhramaut. His grandson was the king [[Sheba (king)|Sheba]] (known in Arabic as ''Saba''') the founder of the [[Sabaean Kingdom]], which is also mentioned in the [[Qur'an]]. |

The lineage of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] was traced by some Arab and Islamic genealogists back to Adam through Ya'rab, who in these accounts is designated the grandson of [[Nebaioth|Nabit]], who was the son of [[Ishmael]]. For example, [[Ibn Kathir]] quoting [[Ibn Ishaq|Mohammed Ibn Ishak]] in ''As-Seerah An-Nabawiyyah'' denotes the part of the lineage of Mohammad from Adnan through to Abraham as follows:<blockquote>[[Adnan]] ibn [[Udd|Udad]] ibn [[Mukawwam|Muqwim]] ibn [[Nahor]] ibn [[Terah]] ibn Ya'rub ibn [[Yashjub]] ibn [[Nebaioth|Nabit]] ibn [[Ishmael|Ismail]] ibn [[Abraham|Ibrahim Al-Khalil]].</blockquote>Note that ''ibn'' means "son" and ''al-Khalil'', the appellation appended to Ibrahim (Abraham)'s name means "the Friend of God".<ref name=AbuKhalilp54>Abu Khalil, 2004, p. 54.</ref> |

Though most likely related, there was more than one Ya'rab historically. This can be compared with the following lineage of the Nasrid Dynasty: |

Arabs trace their ancestry through their nasab, i.e. patrilineal descent. The Nasrid dynasty claimed direct male-line descent from Sa'd ibn Ubadah, chief of the Banu Khazraj tribe and one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Banu Khazraj were themselves part of the Qahtanite group of tribes, which originate in the southern regions of the Arabian Peninsula. The name of Nasr, from whom the dynasty derives its name, appears in bold font. |

Ya'rub (Arabic: يعرب, also spelled Yarob,Ya'rob, Yarrob, Yarab or Yaarub) is an ancient Arabic personal name. He is the grandson of Abir being the son of Qahtan and the ancestor of the Himyarite and Sabaean kings of Yemen.[1][2] A similar account places Ya'rub as Qahtan's grandson (Ya'rub bin Yashjub bin Qahtan) and holds that he is the forefather of al-'Arab al-'Ariba ("the arab arabs" or "pure arabs"), who are generally identified with the Qahtanites and its two main tribes, the Himyar and the Kahlan.[3] Some legendary accounts relate that Ya'rub was the first to speak Arabic and that the language was named for him.[2][4] Shams-i Qais Razi, writing in the 12-13th century CE, traced the origins of Arabic poetry to Ya'rub and he is also credited with having invented the Kufic script.[5][6]
Ancestor of kings
[edit]In Arabian folklore, Ya'rub was said to be one of greatest Arab kings; he was the first to rule the entire lands of Yemen (southwestern Arabia). He expelled or destroyed the remaining Adites (the ones who survived the destruction of their former kingdom) and consolidated the empire of Yemen, and gave to his brothers Oman and Hadhramaut. His grandson was the king Sheba (known in Arabic as Saba') the founder of the Sabaean Kingdom, which is also mentioned in the Qur'an.
