Lineage
According to traditional legends, Arab lineages allegedly originate from three groups:
Perished Arabs (العرب البائدة): These are the ancients of whose history little is known. They include AD, Thamûd, Tasam, Jadis, Imlaq and others.
Pure Arabs (العرب العاربة): They allegedly originated from the progeny of Ya‘rub bin Yashjub bin Qahtan bin Hud so were also called Qahtanian Arabs.
Arabized Arabs (العرب المستعربة): They allegedly originated from the progeny of Islam and were also called ‘Adnanian Arabs. The Quraish are a branch of the "Arabized Arabs".
The Quraish was a branch of the Kinana branch, which descended from the Khuziamah, which descended fromWliasa Bin Mudar, who descended from Adnan. The Quraish remained completely disunited until Qusai bin Kilab managed to rally their ranks on honourable terms attaching major prominence to their status and importance. After the introduction of Islam, the Quraish gained supremacy and produced the three dynasties of the ummatads , Abbasieds and fatimies, which ruled as caliphs
