Khunays ibn Ḥudhāfa (Arabic: خنيس بن حذافة) (d. 2 AH/624) was a companion of Muhammad.
Khunays was the son of Hudhafa ibn Qays from the Sahm clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca.
[2] He was converted to Islam under the influence of Abu Bakr[3] at an early date "before Allah's Messenger entered the house of Al-Arqam".
[4] He joined the emigration to Abyssinia in 616, along with his two brothers, seven cousins and four other members of the clan.
[12] Khunays was the only member of the Sahm clan who fought at the Battle of Badr in March 624.
