[Machine] He asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, about Saba, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah, is Saba a man, a mountain, or a valley?" The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "No, it is a man who had ten children. Four of them were Tamim, and six of them were Yamamah, Lakhm, Jadisam, Ghassan, Hamyar, Mudhij, Azd, Kindah, Ash'ariyun, and Anmar. Some descendents of the Anmar tribe are also included." Adh-Dhahabi did not discuss further in his summary.

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I heard a man say, "O Messenger of Allah, is Sabaa' (a region) an earth or a woman?" He said, "It is neither an earth nor a woman, but rather a man who had ten sons from the Arabs. Four of them are among the people of Tishaamah (Syria) and six of them are among the people of Yemen. As for those among the people of Tishaamah, they are 'Aak, Lakhm, Ghassaan, and 'Aamilah. And as for those among the people of Yemen, they are Azd, Kindah, Madh-hij, Himyar, Ash'ariyyoon, and Anmaar." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, who are Anmaar?" He said, "Among them are Khath'am and Bajee'lah."
