Khazraj (Ansar)

خزرج
Hejaz, Western Arabia · Polytheism (pre-Islamic); Islam (post-conversion)

The Khazraj were one of the two main Arabian tribes inhabiting Medina, alongside the Banu Aws. They played a crucial role as the Ansar, the local supporters of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his followers during the Hijrah. The Khazraj embraced Islam early and contributed significantly to early Islamic military campaigns and governance. Notable members include Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and Sa'd ibn Ubadah.
