Banu Dubayb of Judham

Overview

The Dubayb are the kinsfolk of Rifa'a ibn Zayd of Judham. They embraced Islam upon the Prophet's letter that Rifa'a carried to them, and for this reason they went out to al-Hunayd ibn Aws when he raided Dihya al-Kalbi, and recovered his goods. ¹ ² Later the expedition of Zayd ibn Haritha struck them along with Judham. Hassan and Unayf, the sons of Milla, and Abu Zayd ibn Amr rode to Zayd, then to Rifa'a, then to the Prophet, and what had been taken was returned to them. ³ ⁴

Zayd ibn Haritha's raid on Judham and the Prophet's restitution

When Dihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi returned from Caesar, al-Hunayd ibn Us and his son of the Dula' of Judham robbed him in the valley of Shinar; men of the Dubayb, Rifa'a ibn Zayd's clan who had converted, recovered his goods. When Dihya complained to the Prophet and asked for al-Hunayd's blood, the Prophet sent Zayd ibn Haritha with an army, which raided from al-Awlaj at al-Maqis, took property and people, killed al-Hunayd and his son and three others, and captured converts among them. A party of the Dubayb with Hassan ibn Milla rode to Zayd, who had Umm al-Kitab recited and proclaimed their quarter inviolable; they then rode to Rifa'a and three nights on to Medina, where the Prophet read his own letter to Rifa'a, asked three times what he should do about the dead, and sent Ali with his sword to Zayd, who restored everything down to a woman's cushion. Ibn Ishaq has it from men of Judham learned in it.
