The great ancestor of the two tribes, [['Amr b. 'Amir]] is known as Muzayqiya; and Aws and Khazraj were the two sons of Haritha b. Tha'laba b. 'Amr b. 'Amir. Their bloodline reaches to the tribe [[Banu Quda'a]] through their mother, named Qayla bt. Kahil; so Aws and Khazraj also had named themselves as Banu Qayla. | The great ancestor of the two tribes, [['Amr b. 'Amir]] is known as Muzayqiya; and Aws and Khazraj were the two sons of Haritha b.

The most common narration in old sources, shows that migration of an Azdite group from Yemen, was result of destruction of the [[Ma'rab Dam]] because of a flood; but there's no agreement among current historians about their cause of migration and date of it. Some other narrations say that they migrated before the destruction of the Ma'rab Dam. | The most common narration in old sources, shows that migration of an Azdite group from Yemen, was result of destruction of the [[Ma'rab Dam]] because of a flood; but there's no agreement among current historians about their cause of migration and date of it.

Historians believe that migration of Azdites from Yemen didn't happen all at once. Later, these immigrants in the north of the Arabian Peninsula, close to [[Sham]], formed the little state of Ghassanids, and some other groups formed the state of Al Mundhir or Lakhmids in some parts of [[Iraq]] (Hira); each one was a client state of one of the two great empires of the time, [[Iran]] and [[Rome]]. | Historians believe that migration of Azdites from Yemen didn't happen all at once<ref>Sharif, P.315</ref>.

Most probably, after the formation of these states, migration of Azdite tribes, including Aws and Khazraj or their ancestors, to different parts of the Arabian Peninsula took speed. According to some authors, maybe migration of Aws and Khazraj happened later than other Azdite tribes, and probably in late 4th century AD. They chose [[Yathrib]], which was suitable for agriculture, for residence. | Most probably, after the formation of these states, migration of Azdite tribes, including Aws and Khazraj or their ancestors, to different parts of the Arabian Peninsula took speed.
