 In the 14th century, however, Ibn Batuta relating his visit to Hadjr, also states that most of its inhabitants are from Banu Hanifa, and even joins their "emir", one Tufail ibn Ghanim, on a pilgrimate to Mecca.Little else is heard from Banu Hanifa thereafter, except that a number of clans in the region of Wadi Hanifa are given a Hanafite lineage by Jabr ibn Sayyar, the ruler of nearby Al-Qassab, in his short 17th-century manuscript on the genealogies of the people of Nejd.Since no such manuscript is available for verification nor can such a figure be found recorded in history, the basis or validity of this source is dubious at best.
