It continued in the Hijaz until the seventh century A.D. Ibn Khordabh mentioned that some tribes of the Jews worked in the service of the Persians as tax collectors during the period of Persian control over the Hijaz, and according to the ancient Arab heritage, the reason for the collapse of the Ma’rib Dam was the leaving of several tribes of the Kingdom of Sheba in Yemen Among the most famous of these tribes are the "Aws and Khazraj", and when the two Qiblas reached Yathrib, they were impressed by the fertile land it contained, so they settled there with two other tribes of Jews, the tribe of Banu Qurayta. And the tribe of Banu Qaynuqa’ and made with some of them a peace treaty between the Jews. According to the writings of Ibn Ishaq, he was among the last of the Himyarite kings who lived in Yathrib. He says when this king was crossing the city and some of the residents were exposed to the king and killed his son, the king ordered his soldiers to exterminate the residents of Yathrib and cut their palms. The Jewish clergy and the king’s masks should give up his idea, because this place will migrate to a prophet from among the tribes of Quraysh, live, die and be buried there, the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. The king refrained from destroying Medina, and he embraced the Jewish religion, and the two rabbis accompanied him to Yemen. On the way he passed through Mecca, and it was known as the Kaaba at this time when Ibrahim fought. So the king preferred to do what the people of Mecca do, to perform the circumambulation of the Kaaba and shave his head and be forbidden until The pilgrimage is completed and Ibn Ishaq rises. Upon the arrival of everyone to Yemen, the two rabbis performed a miracle, following which the people of the Jewish lands embraced, as he walked in the fire without being burned. After that, the Khazraj tribe and the Aws turned into bitter enemies after they arrived in Yathrib. The text of the historical sources said that The reason for this hostility the Jews were afraid that the power and influence of the two tribes would expand, so they set up a wedge between them and succeeded in that, and these wars continued until the migration of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to Yathrib

The layout of Medina differs from that of Makkah Al-Mukarramah: in Medina there are fortresses and attams (high building attams). At the time of the migration there was the fortress of Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf, the master of Banu Al-Nadir in the southeast of Madinah on Harrah and residing at the outskirts of Wadi Mudhaineb, and Atm Al-Dhahyan in the southwest, and their traces are still visible. As for the rest of the forts mentioned in the city by Arab geographers and historians, their features were studied, and each of the sections of the Aws and Khazraj had their homes in the attic or in the basement of the city, and they had their fortresses in which they refrained in the event of war or danger.
