Khuza'a was a Tihama tribe neighboring Mecca, in-law to the Prophet ﷺ's house, and inside the Prophet's pact on the day of the Hudaybiyya treaty. Banu Bakr raided it at al-Watir with Quraysh's backing, and it appealed to Medina — the appeal that set off the opening of Mecca.

Khuza'a was a Tihama tribe neighboring Mecca, in-law to the Prophet ﷺ's house — the mother of Abd Manaf, Hashim's father, and Qusayy's mother Fatima bint Sa'd ibn Sayl were of Khuza'a — and inside the Prophet's pact and covenant on the day of the Hudaybiyya treaty. In that truce Nawfal ibn Mu'awiya of Banu al-Dil raided it by night at al-Watir, struck a man of it and chased it until it took shelter in the houses of Budayl ibn Warqa and their client Rafi'; Quraysh supplied the attackers with arms. Amr ibn Salim went out to Medina, stood before the Prophet and appealed in his famous lines 'the pact of our father and his father, the Atlida'; then Budayl came with a party reporting the broken covenant — and Ibn Ishaq says 'that was among what set off the opening of Mecca'.
