The '''Bib''' are a [[Hindkowan]] tribe found in the [[Abbottabad| Abbottabad District]] of the [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] province of [[Pakistan]]. They occupy two villages between the Rash plains and [[Thandiani]] range.<br />
<br />
The Bib claim to be a branch of the [[Awan (Pakistan)|Awan]] tribe, a claim generally not accepted by the Awans. They, like the Awans, claim descent from [[Ali]], the fourth [[Caliph]] of [[Islam]]. Their customs are similar to neighbouring Hindkowan communities, and they are entirely [[Sunni]].<ref>Gazetteer of the Hazara district, 1907 / compiled and edited by H. D.
