The Musahiban or Telai (mus-hi-been; the name derives from Persian "Muṣāḥib", meaning "courtier" or "aide de camp") are a Mohammadzai (who founded the Afghan Barakzai dynasty, members of which ruled Afghanistan as emir, king or president from 1823 to 1978) family. They descend from Sultan Mohammad Khan Telai (1792–1863), and were the last rulers of the Mohammadzai dynasty before being overthrown in the Saur Revolution
