Khuzaymah ibn Mudrikah (خزيمة بن مدركة) was one of the ancestors of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, as well as the Kinana and Banu Asad tribes.

[2][3] Asadah moved to Yemen, and is considered as an ancestor of the Lakhmids who would eventually become a powerful kingdom that ruled al-Hira from the 4th century CE until the Rashidun Caliphate expanded its dominion into Sasanid territories.

[2] Muhammad's lineage back to Adnan through Khuzaymah has been affirmed by the later Islamic scholars which include Ibn Hisham, Tabari, Ibn Kathir and also Saifur Rahman Mubarakpuri, who all state that Khuzaymah is an ancestor of the prophet through his son Kinana.

[4][5][6][7] Khuzaymah was an adherent to pre-Islamic Arabian polytheism and became the first to set up and introduce the idol Hubal to the Arabs, who continued to worship it for generations until the coming of Islam, where it would be eventually destroyed in the Conquest of Mecca.

[8][9] However, Shi'ites disagree and a narration in the book Bihar al-Anwar states that all ancestors of Muhammad up until Abraham were monotheists (including Khuzaymah).
