Dhū Samawī

Sources do not provide a mythic origin narrative. The deity is attested in pre-Islamic South Arabia (Kingdom of Saba context) as a sky/heaven god venerated in Najran and adopted more widely across Yemen in association with Najran's caravan trade; no creation or origin myths are recorded in the supplied material.

No physical description or iconography is preserved in the supplied sources. The deity is identified conceptually as a sky or heavenly deity; an association with camels (especially in Bedouin usage) is attested but the sources do not record any depiction of Dhū Samawī in anthropomorphic or zoomorphic form or any camel-linked iconography.

Dhū Samawī's primary sphere is the heavens/sky; he is described as 'a kind of sky deity who resided in the heavens' and as 'The Heavenly One.' Cultic evidence shows he was the recipient of offerings, and inscriptions record devotees performing confession, penance, offering, and payment of fines addressed to him. These practices indicate his role as a focus of worship and expiation within social and ritual life, and an association with camels links his cult to pastoral and caravan concerns.
