The House of Busaid (Arabic: آل بوسعيد, Arabic pronunciation: [aːl buː sa.ʕiːd]), also known as Al Said dynasty, is the current ruling royal house of the Oman, and former ruling royal house of the Omani Empire (1744–1856), Sultanate of Muscat and Oman (1856–1970) and the Sultanate of Zanzibar (1856–1964).[1] It was founded by Ahmad bin Said al-Busaidi, ruler of Oman and its east African territories at the time.
The Busaid dynasty traces its roots to the tribes of Azd through a patrilineal ancestor, al-'Atik b. al-Asad b. Imran, who settled in Dibba (Dabá), hence the band was also known as the "Azd of Daba".[2][citation needed] Like other Qahtani, the Azd originally hailed from Yemen and migrated north after the destruction of the Marib Dam.
With the rise of Islam, the Azd established themselves into a leading force in the ensuing Muslim conquests and later in the realms of the Umayyad Caliphate through the celebrated general Al Muhallab ibn Abi Suffrah (Abu Said), the progenitor of the Busaid tribe.[citation needed] Most early sections of pre-Islamic universal chronicles of Arabs begin with the Azd.[citation needed]
