It participated in the Islamic conquests in the early days of Islam. Among them were Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi, the great companion Al-Harith bin Omair Al-Zubaidi and Amr bin Ma’di al-Zubaydi, a famous arabic warrior who joined Islam and one of the leaders at the Battle of Al-Qadisiyah.

The tribe migrated to Iraq, Syria and Ahwaz from Yemen before and after the Islamic conquest.

Many other tribes trace their lineage to Zubaid.[1][2][3][4] Zubaid is mainly Muslims.

Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim, Jubur, Al-Laheeb, Azzah, Obaid, Al Uqaydat, Al Bu Sultan, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat and Al Suwaed (Al-Saedi), and Al Bu Shabaan.
