Banu Awf
The Banu Awf (Arabic: بنو عوف, Banu ‘Awf) was one of the Jewish tribes of Arabia during Muhammad's era.[1]
The Banu Awf was an Arab tribe who wished to settle in the Jewish-ruled Tayma. The local people in Tayma insisted as a condition of settling in Tayma, Banu Awf must adopt Judaism. After having done so, they moved on to Yathrib.[2]
They were included in Point 25 of the Constitution of Medina as allies to the Muslims, being as "one nation", but retaining their Jewish religion.[3][4]
