Overview
A tribe of Ghatafan, whose leaders were Banu Badr. Ibn Ishaq mentions them in the expedition of Zayd ibn Haritha: Zayd met them at Wadi al-Qura, some of his companions were struck and he was carried away wounded. He swore not to wash from a state of major impurity until he had raided them, so the Prophet sent him against them, and he killed them at Wadi al-Qura. Umm Qirfa and Masada ibn Hakama were killed. 1 2 Among Fazara was Uyayna ibn Hisn, whom Ibn Ishaq mentions in other delegations and expeditions. 3
