Banu Awf
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].
