Summary
A branch of Hawazin, known for its knights and poets. Among them was the old knight Durayd ibn al-Simma. They took part in the Day of Hunayn and at Awtas 1.
Their role
Banu Jusham attended Hunayn without fielding a separate banner; their affairs were bound up with Hawazin's. Durayd ibn al-Simma was their military mind and their counsellor, and he was the one who objected to Malik ibn Awf's plan 2.
