The delegation of Udhrah is a delegation from Banu Udhrah of Quda'ah. It came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Safar of 9 AH. They were twelve men, including Jamrah ibn an-Nu'man al-Udhri and Sulaym and Sa'd, the two sons of Malik. They stayed in the house of Ramlah bint al-Harith of the Najjar tribe, then went in to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned their link to Qusayy ibn Kilab. He honored them and called them to Islam, so they embraced Islam, stayed for a few days, then returned to their people. This story shows the spread of Islam among the tribes of northern Hijaz, and the Prophet's ﷺ wisdom in receiving delegations and using ties of lineage and kinship to draw hearts closer while keeping faith as the foundation.
