Common card · No. 339080

Malik ibn Nuwayra (Arabic: مالك بن نويرة: died 632), was the chief of the Banu Yarbu, a clan of the Banu Hanzala, which was a large section of the powerful tribe of Bani Tamim. Malik was appointed by Prophet Muhammad to collect zakah for the Banu Yarbu, but after the Prophet's death, he reportedly refused to send it to Medina. Abu Bakr sent an army and Khalid ibn al-Walid executed Malik, with historical sources attributing it to alleged apostasy.
