Hashemi tribe

[darwezkhail]

Please list information regarding the Hashemi tribe in Afghanistan as I searched but did not find anything myself.

do you mean bani hashim?

^ Mmm , I am not sure. Bani hashim are of Arab descent but I don't know for certain whether the Hashemis of Afghanistan are Arabs or a Pashtun tribe coincidentally having a similar name. Must be Arabs because most Hashemis use the title Sayed.

yes there are sayeeds who are said to be Arabs and from the linage of Prophet Mohammad(pbuh)

i havent heard of hashemis in Afghanistan but banu or bani hashem was an Arab tribe

Yes, there are thousands of Hashemis in Afghanistan who identify as Pashtuns and they are apparently scattered around different provinces. The Afghan ambassador during 2000-2001 is just one example. He is a kandahari Pashtun of Arghandab district named Rahmatullah Hashemi. When I asked him about the case of Arab descent he disputed it saying it may not be true.
