Sayyid
Sayyid or Sajid ( Arabic سَيِّد, DMG Sayyid 'Herr' (also as a salutation), female Arabic سَيِّدة, DMG Sayyida 'Frau, Dame' (also as a salutation); Persian pronunciation Seyyed ; Turkish Seyyid , Albanian Seid ; Kurdish Seyîd , female: Seyyîde ; Malay Syed ; Bosnian Sejdić ) is the honorary title of the descendants of Muhammad , the prophet of Islam , who descended from him on his father's side through his daughter Fatima and her father's husband Ali ibn Abi Talib . To prove the title claim, a precise family tree is kept, among other things. Among the Islamic clergy, the Sayyids wear black turban while everyone else wears white. Within Shiite Islam (for example in Iran and Iraq ), the clergy are considered legitimate descendants, who were led by Fatima and Ali ibn Abi Talib through their younger son al-Ḥusain b. 'Alī descend. The title Sherif ( Arabic شريف Sharīf , DMG Šarīf ), “the noble one”, however, applies to the descendants of his older brother al-Hasan ibn ʿAlī , including the rulers of Jordan and Morocco.

Others
Since an imprecise or at least inconsistent Latin transcription is often used for Arabic terms , the title Sayyid can easily be combined with the name Said (سعيد, DMG Saʿīd ) or Zaid (زيد, DMG Zaid ), which differ significantly from one another in Arabic.
