Banu Sa'ida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Banu Sa'ida was one of the Jewish tribes of Arabia during Muhammad's era.
They were included in point 31 of the Constitution of Medina as allies to the Muslims, being as "one nation", but retaining their Jewish religion.[1]
It was in their Saqifah that Abu Bakr was elected as the first Caliph.
