is a name sometimes applied to the unfortunate Jewish tribe of Koraidha, of Northern Arabia, which Mohammed extirpated upon their refusal to accept him as God's " prophet."

Juden, 5:125-127; Milman, Hist. of the Jews, 3:99 sq.; Muir, Life of Mohammed, 3:135 sq.; Sale's Koran, p. 345, note h. (See MOHAMMED).
