Banū Taym (Arabic: بَنُو تَيْم; alternatively transliterated as Banu Taim) were an Arab clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. Their descendants are present in many countries throughout the Middle East such as in the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant and North Africa.
The first Caliph of Islam, Abu Bakr Al Siddiq, hailed from the Banu Taym, as did another prominent companion of Muhammad, Talha ibn Ubaydallah, as well as the third wife of Muhammad, Aisha bint Abi Bakr.
