Bayt Zud (Bayt Zūd) is a village in Kharif District of 'Amran Governorate, Yemen.[1]

Name and history

According to the 10th-century writer al-Hamdani, Bayt Zud is named after Zuwad b. Sayf b. ʽAmr b. al-Sabīʽ, of the tribe of Hashid.[2] He clarifies that Zūd, or Zuwad, was the Himyaritic form of the Arabic name Zayd.[2] He also wrote that Bayt Zud had once been the site of a pre-Islamic palace.[2] Bayt Zud is also mentioned several times in historical sources, including the Ghayat al-amani of Yahya ibn al-Husayn and the Sirat al-Hadi ila'l-Haqq of Ali ibn Muhammad al-Abbasi.[2][note 1]

Notes

  1. ^ Al-Hamdani also mentioned a second Bayt Zud, on Jabal Miswar, but the Ghayat al-amani and the Sirat are not referring to that place, which evidently no longer exists.[2]
