Khuzaymah ibn Mudrikah (خزيمة بن مدركة) was one of the ancestors of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, as well as the Kinana and Banu Asad tribes. He was also the brother of Hudhayl, the progenitor of the Banu Hudhayl tribe.
Khuzaymah was the first man in the Arabian Peninsula to have worshipped the statue of Hubal. Worship of Hubal continued after his death until the 7th century CE due to the rise of the Islamic religion, where Hubal was ultimately destroyed in the Conquest of Mecca.
