Maharmah

Kulqhandi Ahmed Abu Abbas died in 821 AH in 1418 mention in his book Subh Ala'sha (Part I - the second destination in the evidence of the ancestry of the Arabs) that tries to Arabs from Jotham, the people of Maharmah or Bano Mahrama, and that they Bno Mahrama Bin Zaid bin Haram from Jotham Tribes, and that they residents of the eastern region of the Egyptian homes, and from Jotham Tribes Bno Zaid or Al-Ziod Bin Haram from Jotham Tribes.
The Kulqhandi further that Beni Ajar who was working in guides Hajj caravans in the time of Sultan Saladin, are from Maharmah people from Jotham Tribes, And as one of the pilgrim routes in the north with the Egyptian Sina and Gaza, and then pass to Jerusalem, then East to Jordan Karak, as Moroccan pilgrims stops in Jerusalem for rest and stand and worship in the holy city, and they pass through Egypt, as is well known.
we interpret in the light of these facts, that Maharmah people located in Ajjour the oldest residents of the current of Ajjour population, and the derivation of the name Ajjour comes from Ajar whom pepole of Maharmah from Jotham Tribes.
This shed light on the tribes considering Maharmah and Alziod in Sahab east of the Jordan called Masarwah tribes, as they remember they are originally from Egypt, and remember to merge in with the female relatives Ajjour ratios, and that their ancestors were in social communications with their relatives in Ajjour, and Ajjour city located on the road between Gaza and Jerusalem, and this strengthens the evidence that guides of pilgrimage were resting and accommodate in Ajjour at Mamluk time.
And the importance of the this book Sabh Ala'sha that little evidence of the ancestry of Arab peoples in the era of late after the end of the Crusades and the beginning of the era of the Mamluk turret, with a stable population situation in Egypt is relatively and in the Levant since the end of the Tatar invasion.
The stability of this has continued until the end of the Ottoman era, in the sense that population changes were not comprehensive as in the case of major foreign invasions, In the Mamluk era the Bedouin are involved in the military reserve forces, and was entrusted to their leaders maintaining of security in different regions in exchange for the fiefdom, and this leads to the fact that the departure of Maharmah and Abo Zaid people from the eastern region of Egyptian to new areas to them, in the areas of that they well known before during their job as convoys of pilgrims guides, and these areas where inhabited by Muslims since before the age of Ayyobi era, were Ajjour and Sahab in the east of Jordan where the homes of Maharmah and Alziod so far.
