The Tree of the Sons of Hassan

very accurately in their correct locations, and this is also confirmed by the information of "Leo Africanus" who traveled in the Great Sahara. "Moknana" spoke to Al-Dulaimi in the desert facing the Fortunate Islands (Canary Islands), which is the spot where they thought they always gathered. As for the people of "Fudi," they are more widespread, given that their name appears three times with the Emirate of "Walana" in the heart of the Western Sahara, up to Qaswar of Wadi Nun. We still find them today where they were then. The maps accompanying the author of "Marmoul" and the text of his book clearly reinforce these references, as he says: The tribe of Awlad "Fudi" lives in the desert between "Akaden" and "Ghaina," and they are the emirs of Akaden (Wadan), to whom the king of "Ghaina" Al-Baydhani pays tribute. They have a thousand warriors, including a few horsemen, but they possess many camels. Today, in the Sahel and the Basin region, from east to west, we find five tribal confederations claiming descent from this Hassani origin, providing proof of their affiliation to the five sons of Fudi (10), which are the tribes of Awlad Dawood bin Muhammad, Awlad Dawood bin Uruq, Awlad Muhammad, and Awlad Al-Nasser. These are the origins, based on general narratives and genealogies known among all people, except for some minor differences. The following genealogy summarizes the data of the Baydhani narrative, which establishes the Arab lineage of these tribes and links them to Fudi bin Hassan.
