The Khindif (Arabic: خندف) also known as the Banu Ilyas ibn Mudar[a] are a group of Mudarite Arab tribes that descend from the patriarch Ilyas ibn Mudar. The tribes of Banu Tamim, Banu Kinana, Banu Hudhayl and Banu Asad are amongst the various branches of the Khindif group. The Khindif are also ancestors of the Quraysh tribal confederation.
