Jump to: navigation, search

The Banu Awf (Arabic: بنو عوف‎, Banu ‘Awf) was one of the Jewish tribes of Arabia during Muhammad's era.^[1]

The Banu Awf were an Arab tribe who wished to settle in the Jewish-ruled Tayma. The population there insisted that in order to settle the Banu Awf must adopt Judaism. After having done so, they moved on to Yathrib.^[2]

They were included in Point 30 of the Constitution of Medina as allies to the Muslims, being as "one nation", but retaining their Jewish religion.^[3]^[4]
