Malik ibn Awf (Arabic: مالك بن عوف) was a companion of Muhammad and a leader of the Hawazin tribe of Ta'if.

[2][3] In the year 619, Prophet Muhammad's uncle Abu Talib died and a few weeks later his wife Khadija also passed away.

As a result, the Prophet was deprived of the care and support he received from his uncle in his public life and from his wife at home.

Ibn Ishaq said: "The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the delegation of Hawazin on the authority of Malik bin Auf al-Nasri, What did he do?

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Tell Malik that if a Muslim comes to me, I will return his family and money to him, and give him a hundred camels).

After Malik's conversion, Muhammad used him over his people and those with him and remained with them until the war of conquests took place, where he participated with his tribe in the Battle of al-Qadisiyya, and they had an interest in it, as he witnessed the conquest of the city of Damascus and resided there, and it became for him a house known as the House of Bani Nasr, which Malik first lodged Damascus opened.
