بنو مغالة

بنو مغالة

المدينة المنورة

A clan of Banu al-Najjar — Banu 'Adi ibn 'Amr ibn Malik, Maghala being 'Adi's mother — settled on the right of one facing the Prophet's Mosque from the end of the balat; they built the utm 'Fari'' facing the houses of Banu Talha ibn 'Ubayd Allah, later absorbed into Ja'far ibn Yahya al-Barmaki's residence — the tower where Safiyya the Prophet's aunt sheltered on the day of the Trench with Hassan ibn Thabit (may God be pleased with him) beside it (al-Zayn al-Maraghi makes it the tower of Thabit, Hassan's father), where Ibn Sayyad was found in Muslim's hadith, and to which Hassan's verse 'we hold sway between Sal' and Fari'' refers ¹.
