Sh. Hanash Mojadami (Al Muqaddam) of Bani Kaab, a Bedouin leader from Iran

I found online traces of the Shaykh Hanash Mojadami that Mary Gharazoglu writes about as one of the foremost breeders of Arabian horses in Iran. Accordingto her, the clan he led bred several strains:

The Kaab, under whose name General Tweedie recognizes the Arab of Iran, are a large tribe divided into sub-tribes. Those best known for certain strains are […] the Mojadami known for a branch of the Hamdani, the Sobeili and Beaiyreh.

He was not easy to find because of the ways both Iranians and Bedouin Arabs spell Arabic names. He is Sh. Hanash al-Yabir Aal Muqaddam (Mugadam/Mojadam, hence Mojadami), a leader of the Bani Kaab tribe and a poet (photo below). His son Sh. Abdallah al-Hanash was also an important tribal figure in Iran.
