Origin
Banu Sulaym trace their origin to Qais 'Ailan bin Mudhar bin Nizar bin Ma'ad bin Adnan. They lived in Hijaz with the other Qaisi tribes, Banu Hawazin and Banu Ghatafan, and remained in the Eastern part of Hijaz until the 7th century. Then they fought the Ansar and Qureish Muslims (Battle of the Trench), and later converted to Islam. Included in the Muslim army, they defeated the Bani Hilal and the Hawazin tribes in the Battle of Hunayn.

In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
