The Tareen (or Tarin) (Pashto: ترین) is a Pashtun tribe inhabiting southern Afghanistan, and western region of Pakistan.
[1][2] Much of the tribe continues to live in their native lands in the southern parts of Afghanistan and Pishin in Baluchistan, Pakistan.
[3] During the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628 to 1658) a group of Tareen/Tarin emigrated to the area which is now the Hazara region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
[4][5] According to Ni'mat Allah al-Harawi in History of the Afghans, Tareen had three sons namely: Tor, Spin (Aspin or Speen) and Awdal/Born Tareen/Abdali.
These three major clans are further divided into smaller units.
