The Asfda tribe traces its lineage back to Deweid Ibn Asfda. According to tradition, Deweid had a disagreement with his brothers Saeed, Awad, and Saeeda. As a result, he left them and moved to the mountains of Afabat, where he found a village and settled. Deweid married the daughter of the village chief and had four sons: Osman, Qasir (or Hashir in Tigre language ), R’aeem ( shorter in Tigre language ) , (nicknamed Tsaada, meaning “the White/ the lighter colour ”), and Ash-Had. Over time, Deweid’s descendants grew in number and influence, eventually forming an independent clan under the Nazarat of Al-Habbab tribe.
History
During the time of Kantibay Fakak bin Naud, the Asfda tribe split into several sub-clans. Leadership of the Asfda tribe was held by two main families: Ad Dawyan Dayin and Ad Hamid Shalaa. Notable leaders included Sheikh Muhammad Ali Fakak Hamid Shalaa, who was the head of the tribe during the Mahdia period, and Sheikh Musa Sultan from the Tatai family, who served as a supervisor.
In the era of Kantibay, some members of the Asfda tribe joined other tribes, including Beit Awad, Aflanda, Neptab, Ad Omar, and Ad Ha Sari, although most remained with the Al-Habbab tribe .
