Sirat Ibn Hisham 307
The spread of mention of the Messenger among the tribes, especially among the Aws and Khazraj
[ انْتِشَارُ ذِكْرِ الرَّسُولِ فِي الْقَبَائِلِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا فِي الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ ] فَلَمَّا انْتَشَرَ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْعَرَبِ، وَبَلَغَ الْبُلْدَانَ، ذُكِرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ حَيٌّ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ أَعْلَمَ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ ذُكِرَ، وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ، وَذَلِكَ لِمَا كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ، وَكَانُوا لَهُمْ حُلَفَاءَ، وَمَعَهُمْ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ. فَلَمَّا وَقَعَ ذِكْرُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِمَا بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ فِيهِ مِنْ الِاخْتِلَافِ. قَالَ أَبُو قَيْسِ بْنِ الْأَسْلَتِ. أَخُو بَنِي وَاقِفٍ
Translation
✧ [Spread of the Messenger's mention among the tribes, especially among al-Aws and al-Khazraj] When the matter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spread among the Arabs and reached the lands, he was mentioned in Madinah. There was no Arab tribe more knowledgeable about the matter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was mentioned, and before he was mentioned, than this tribe of al-Aws and al-Khazraj, because of what they used to hear from the Jewish religious scholars, and they were their allies and with them in their lands. When his mention occurred in Madinah, they spoke about what was between Quraysh regarding him of disagreement. Abū Qays b. al-Aslat, the brother of Banū Wāqif, said:
