Qamus
In traditional Islamic history, the Qamūṣ (Arabic: القموص) was one of the fortresses of the Jewish poet al-Rabi ibn Abu al-Huqayq and his Jewish tribe in Arabia, the Banu Nadir.[1][2] The fortress was situated near Khaybar in what is now Saudi Arabia.[3] The fortress was attacked by Muslim forces and defeated circa 629/30 CE.[1] It was after this event that Muhammad married Safiyya bint Huyayy.[4] The Jewish presence in the region has been attested to the late seventh century who pioneered the cultivation in the area.[1]
It has traditionally been identified with the remains of the Husn al-Qamus (Qamus Fortress) in the old Khaybar oasis, though there is no direct archaeological evidence for this.[1]
