A Kuhaylan Da\'jani bred by Ahmad al-Taha, Shaykh of the Juhaysh tribe of the Jazirah, east of the Euphrates River, Syria. Sold to Henri Pharaon either directly or through a merchant. Pharaon raced him in Beirut under the name Didane. Sold to Khidr Mihyu who sold him to Ahmad Abu al-Futuh of Egypt, who changed his name from Didane to El Nasser. Presented to the RAS by Ahmad Abu al-Futuh in 1947, where he was used for breeding.
By a Dahman \'Amir of the al-Ajarrash clan of the Shammar and owned by the Jubur tribe and out of a Kuhaylat Ajuz Da\'janiyah of the strain well-known among the Taha clan of the Juhaysh and owned by Ahmad al-Taha, Shaykh of the Juhaysh.
NOTES: The above information is compiled by Edouard al-Dahdah from a number of sources. Conflicting sources of information about El Nasser (RAS) exist. The RAS History (p44, horse #41) says merely that El Nasser was \"Kuhaylan Dajani; an imported race-horse bought on 13th September 1947 from Ahmed Abu El Fotouh Bey and bred by Henri Faraun of Syria.\" This book was printed only months after El Nasser was purchased, which may explain the paucity of information and the apparently incorrect attribution of Henri Pharaon, actually of Lebanon, as breeder.
Asil Araber Vol. II [p518], apparently in error, says that a certain Ibn \"Ghaich\" of the Fid\'an (the family name being similar to that of the Juhaysh tribe of the breeder, al-Taha) sold the horse to a merchant, \'Abd al-Hafid al-Zayn who sold him to Pharaon.
