Banu Hanifa (Arabic: بنو حنيفة) is an ancient Arab tribe inhabiting the area of al-Yamama in the central region of modern-day Saudi Arabia.[1] The tribe belongs to the great Rabi'ah branch of North Arabian tribes, which also included Abdul Qays, Taghlib, al-Nammir ibn Qasit, and Anazzah. Though counted by the classical Arab genealogists as a Christian[2][3] branch of Bani Bakr, they led an independent existence prior to Islam.[4] The ruling House of Saud of Saudi Arabia belongs to it.[5]
