## Background

De Medinese, wich consist of Banu Aws den Banu Khazraj, along plus dema Arabian Jewish allies (Banu Nadir, Banu Qurayza, den Banu Qaynuqa), be involved in years of degenerating warfare, such as de battle of Sumair, battle of Banu Jahjaha of Aus-Banu Mazin of Khazraj, battle of Sararah day, battle of Banu Wa'il ibn Zayd, battle of Zhufr-Malik, battle of Fari', battle of Hathib, battle of Rabi' day, first battle of Fijar insyd Yathrib (no be Fijar war between Qays plus Kinana insyd Mecca), battle of Ma'is, battle of Mudharras, den second battle of Fijar insyd Yathrib. De Medinese sanso even contact against foreign invaders cam from outsyd Hejaz, wey dey include such as Shapur II of Sasanian Empire in relatively vague result, den also insyd successful defense against Himyarite Kingdom under dema sovereign, Tabban Abu Karib, wey sanso be known as *Dhu al-Adh'ar*. However, de most terrible conflict give both Aws den Khazraj be a civil war dem call de Battle of Bu'ath, wich lef a bitter taste give both clans, wey e cause dem to grow weary of war, secof de exceptionally high level of violence, even by dema standards, den de needless massacres wey occur during dat battle.

Thus, in search of enlightenments den dey seek arbitration from third party, de Yathribese then pledge dema allegiance to Muhammad, a Qurayshi Meccan wey preach a new faith, Islam, during de Medinese pilgrimage to Kaaba. As Muhammad manage to convince chaw notables of both Aws den Khazraj, wich sanso include Abbad ibn Bishr wey a Muhajirun dem name Mus'ab ibn Umayr personally convince of ein cause on ein new faith, de chieftains of both Aus den Khazraj tribe, particularly Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, Usaid Bin Hudair, Saʽd ibn ʽUbadah, den As'ad ibn Zurara agree to embrace Islam den appoint Muhammad as arbitrator den de facto leader of Medina. In no time, Abbad den oda Yathribese agree to provide shelter give Meccan Muslims wey Quraysh polytheists persecute, while dem sanso agree to change dema city name from Yathrib to Medina, as Yathrib get bad connotation insyd Arabic.
