Banu Daws

The Banu Daws () was one of the clan of Arabia during Muhammad's era. Located south of Mecca, it is a branch of the Zahran tribe, among its leaders Tufayl ibn Amr, one of Muhammad's companions. Abu Hurairah also hails from the Daws tribe.

There are Islamic prophecies with regard to 'End-Times' that have quoted the tribe; like the following by Abu Hurairah:Abu Hurairah said, I heard the Prophet say, The Hour will not come until the buttocks of the women of Daws move (quiver) while going around Dhu l-Khalasah. Dhu l-Khalasah was an idol worshiped by the tribe of Daws during the Jahiliyyah. (Hadith from Bukhari.)
