SYUDS. (88) SYUD or Sayyid, also written Said (meaning a lord, a chief), is the designation assumed throughout the East by a large number of Mahomedans, who are, or more commonly pretend to be, descended from Hoosein, the son of Ali, and grandson of Mahomed. They are distinguished by a green turban, and are found wherever the Mahomedan religion exists.
