Khudra (Ansar)

The Banu Khudra was a clan of the Khazraj tribe, one of the two main tribal divisions of the Ansar in Medina during the early Islamic period. They were affiliated with the Ansar, the supporters of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and played a role in the early Muslim community. Notable members include Samura ibn Jundab, a companion of Muhammad and a governor under the Umayyads, who was affiliated with Banu Khudra through his stepfather. The clan originated from the Hejaz region and contributed to the Islamic conquests and administration.
