[5] Shihab al-Din al-Khafaji gave a more positive view, saying that the Shanu'ah was a term referring to the righteous, pious and noble people of high lineage.
In some Hadith, it was reported that Muhammad compared the Azd Shanu'ah to the biblical Moses, noting their similarities in appearance and height.
After the collapse of the Ma'rib Dam, the Azd Shanu'ah emigrated from Yemen under the leadership of Muzayqiya, as their homeland had not become suitable for them to live in anymore.
[12] Yaqut al-Hamawi narrates that the Azd Shanu'ah had conflict with some Amalekites who inhabited the mountainous region temporarily.
[17] In modern times, descendants of this ancient tribe exist and live in the towns and rural villages of the Al Bahah Region.
