Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Are the Jews in Madinah, from Banu Qurayzah, Banu al-Nadhir, and Banu Qaynuqa, from Arab tribes?

Answer:
No, they are from the Children of Israel. They are from the Children of Israel, except Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf; they say he is from Tayy, from the Arabs of Tayy, and his mother was from the Jews, and his maternal uncles were Jews.
