{{Short description|Arab tribe}}
The '''Banu Mustaliq''' ({{lang-ar|بنو المصطلق}}) is an [[Arab]] tribe. The tribe is a [[sub-clan]] of the [[Banu Khuza'a]], descended from [[Azdi]] [[Qahtanite|Qahtani]]. They occupied the territory of [[Qadid]] on the [[Red Sea]] shore between [[Jeddah]] and [[Rabigh]].

==History==

The Banu al Mustaliq, allied to the [[Quraysh (tribe)|Quraish]] of [[Mecca]]{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}}, were the subject to an attack by Muslims in the month of Sha'ban of the year 626 [[common era|CE]] (5 [[Islamic Calendar|AH]]) according to [[Leone Caetani]]. The Muslim force met the Banu Mustaliq in battle at a watering place called al-Muraysi‘ and defeated them soundly, taking the Mustaliq chief, al-Harith and others captive.

Among the captives taken by the Muslims was al-Harith's daughter [[Juwayriya bint al-Harith|Juwayriya]]. She initially fell among the booty of Muhammad's companion Thabit ibn Qays ibn Al-Shammas. Troubled by this, Juwayriya sought a deed of redemption from Muhammad. Muhammad proposed to marry her and as a result freed her from the bondage of Thabit and consequently ameliorated the condition of her captured tribe.<ref>Alfred Guillaume, ''The Life of Muhammad: A Translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah'', p. 490-493.</ref>

The campaign also involved a conflict between the [[Muhajirun]] and the [[Ansar (Islam)|Ansar]] when, on the march home, a [[Bedouin]] servant of [[Umar]] pushed an ally of the Khazraj, whose chief [[Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy#Controversy during the Mustaliq campaign|Ibn Ubayy]] reportedly tried to spread discontent. Muhammad forestalled any fighting by immediately continuing the march. Later on, Muhammad's wife [[Aisha#Accusation of adultery|Aisha]] was rumoured to have committed adultery, an accusation that was settled by Muhammad announcing that he had received a revelation confirming Aisha's innocence.<ref name="Muir3-16">William Muir, ''The Life of Mahomet'', vol. 3, chapter 16</ref>
