Banu Sa'd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Banu Sa'd (Arabic: بنو سعد / ALA-LC: Banū Saʿd) was one of the leading royal tribes of Arabia during the Islamic prophet Muhammad's era. They were a subgroup of the larger Hawazin tribal confederation. They had close family relations with Muhammad. They were great warriors and fought many battles with Muhammad against enemies of Islam. [citation needed] Halima Sadia, Muhammad's wet nurse, belonged to this tribe.[1]
