The Banu Daws (Arabic: بنو دوس) was one of the clan of Arabia during Muhammad's era. Located south of Mecca, it is a branch of the Zahran tribe, among its leaders Tufayl ibn Amr, one of Muhammad's companions.Abu Hurairah also hails from the Daws tribe.
There are Islamic prophecies with regard to 'End-Times' that have quoted the tribe; like the following by Abu Hurairah:
Abu Hurairah said, I heard the Prophet say, The Hour will not come until the buttocks of the women of Daws move (quiver) while going around Dhu l-Khalasah. Dhu l-Khalasah was an idol worshiped by the tribe of Daws during the Jahiliyyah. (Hadith from Bukhari.)
