The '''Mudar''' ({{lang-ar|مضر}}) are one of the most powerful [[Adnanites|northern Arab]] tribal groupings.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Mudar and [[Rabi'ah ibn Nizar|Rabi'a]] are recorded in central Arabia in the Arabic histories of the [[Pre-Islamic Arabia|pre-Islamic period]]; the kings of the [[Kingdom of Kinda|Kindah]] bore the title of "king of the Ma'ad (or Mudar) and Rabi'a", and they played a role in the conflicts with the [[Yemen]]i (southern Arab) tribes.{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=353}} It is unclear, however, in how far these tribes really emerged in the manner described, or are later, artificial designations that emerged through inter-tribal rivalries and conflicts. Even the conflict between the Yemeni and northern tribes is considered by some modern scholars to be a later invention, reflecting the tribal rivalries of the [[Umayyad]] period rather than the realities of pre-Islamic Arabia.{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=354}} According to the Arabic sources, a large number of Mudar (identified by some modern scholars with the Μαυζανῖται, ''Mauzanitae'', of the [[Byzantine]] sources) also migrated to [[Upper Mesopotamia]], where they gave their name to the district of [[Diyar Mudar]].{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=353}} After the collapse of the Kindah kingdom, the Mudar of central Arabia came under the control of the [[Lakhmid]] kings of [[al-Hira]] during the reign of [[al-Mundhir III ibn al-Nu'man|al-Mundhir III]].{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=353}}<br />
<br />
The Mudar dominated Mecca after driving out the Jurhum, and held some of the religious offices connected with the [[Ka'aba]] sanctuary. Unlike the Rabi'a, who converted to Christianity in large numbers, the Mudar remained attached to the [[Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia|traditional polytheistic religion]].{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=353}} The idol of [[al-Uzza]] at [[Nakhla (Saudi Arabia)|Nakhla]], "revered by all the Mudar" according to [[al-Tabari]], was destroyed by [[Khalid ibn al-Walid]] in 630. Although the [[Muzayna]] boasted of having accepted Muhammad and Islam already in [[Anno Hegirae|AH]] 5 (626/7 CE), it was not until the "Year of the Deputations" in 631 that the other Mudar tribes began converting to Islam.{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=353}}<br />
<br />
===Traditional ancestor===<br />
{{main|Mudar ibn Nizar}}<br />
According to the Arab genealogists, Mudar was the son of [[Nizar ibn Ma'ad|Nizar ibn Ma'ad ibn Adnan]] by Sawda bint Akk ibn Adnan.{{sfn|Kindermann|1995|p=352}}<br />
