Genealogy holds significant value within the traditional cultural practices of numerous communities in the East and West. Nasab, genealogical knowledge, played a prominent role in Arab society both before and following the advent of Islam and continues to be widely recognized in contemporary Arab culture. The importance of genealogical works in the context of traditional Arabic literary culture cannot be overstated. Thus, the textual examination of the khabars in "Book on the Genealogy of the Nobles" ("Kitāb Ansāb al-Ashrāf") by Aḥmad ibn Yahyā Al-Balādhurī, the foremost work of Arab-Muslim genealogical science is of utmost interest, as it holds particular relevance in this regard. The article seeks to reveal the deep connections between khabars by employing historical-comparative, analytical, and comparative methods, aiming to outline the semantic priorities within khabars based on their order and to introduce a new classification. A comprehensive understanding of the historical context of khabars is offered through exploring their semantic, value, and cultural dimensions.
