Aws and Khazraj: Difference between revisions

The conflict began between the two tribes leading to long and bloody battles, and indeed, the Jews were actively involved in the situation. Each tribe tried to gain superiority by making alliances with the Jewish tribes of Yathrib. Aws was allied with [[Banu Qurayza]], and Khazraj with [[Banu Nadir]]. This competition resulted in bloody wars between branches of the two tribes; every battle has a unique name in the [[age of ignorance]], but most of these narrations are mixed with myth.

In the first battle, named Sumayr, Aws won, but in most of the later battles, Khazraj was the victor.

In the last battle, named Bu'ath, which occurred after [[bi'tha]] of the [[Prophet (s)]], some Awsites went to [[Mecca]] to ally with [[Quraysh]], but they didn't show any interest. Then a connection established between some of them and the Prophet (s). (see: [[Pledge of al-'Aqaba]])

Apparently, Khazrajites wanted to make [['Abd 'Allah b. 'Ubay]] ruler of the city.
