The Aït Oussa, is a large Sahrawi Arab tribe in Morocco, descended from Banu Hilal.[1] Muhammed Sulayman Al-Tayeb classifies Ait Oussa as an Arab tribe.[2]
Al-Mukhtar Al-Sussi said regarding its origins:
"The Arab Hilali tribe living there, now known as Ait Oussa, is a great tribe with famous chiefs.”[3] They are a branch of the Tekna tribes[4]
The tribe numbers about 50,000 persons. The Aït Oussa tribes speak[5] Hassaniya Arabic, and are Muslims, mainly belonging to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam.
Some attribute this tribe to the Ansar, known as Banu Aws.[6] Hassan ibn Abdullah Afshil said: "Ait Oussa is a tribe of the Ansar, originally descended from migrants from the Arabian Peninsula, specifically from Medina. Their ancestors include three main lineages: Musa al-Ansari, Yaqub al-Ansari, and Al-Asoudi. They arrived in the region in the 12th and 13th centuries."
In the absence of written local documents, oral tradition remains the only source for the (confirmation) origins (of Banu Aws) of the Ait Oussa tribe.[7] [8]
