الشرح المختصر
The "‘asheerah" (clan) of a man are his kin and relatives who share the same lineage tracing back to the same forefather. They usually carry the same family name, which is their common forefather, and live in the same region and speak the same dialect. An "‘asheerah" is typically composed of several families. When different clans are allied, they form a tribe. They were called "‘asheerah" because they live together, share common affairs, and cooperate among themselves. An "‘asheerah" is more specific than a tribe.
