Ka'b ibn Asad
7th-century Medinan Jewish tribal chief / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ka'b ibn Asad (Arabic: كعب ابن اسعد) was the chief of the Qurayza, a Jewish tribe that lived in Medina until 627. A tribesman, Al-Zabir ibn Bata, claimed that his face "was like a Chinese mirror, in which the girls of the tribe could see themselves", presumably meaning that Kaab had a youthful and innocent appearance.[1]
