Suku Al Said berasal dari suku Al Azd melalui pihak ayah, al-'Atik  al-Asad b. Imran, yang bermukim di Dibba (Dabá), sehingga suku tersebut juga dikenal sebagai "Azd dari Daba". Seperti Qahtani, Azd berasal dari Yaman dan bermigrasi ke utara setelah penghancuran Bendungan Marib. Bukti arkeologi menunjukkan bahwa suku tersebut telah ada semenjak zaman Sasaniyah, yang berlangsung sekitar abad ketiga atau keempat Masehi, sebuah periode kebangkitan kekuasaan Persia.
