He said:
Iyād and Muḍar were full brothers, their mother being Sawdah bint ʿUkk ibn ʿAdnān. Rabīʿah and Anmār were likewise full brothers; their mother was Shuqayqah—or, it is said (1), Jumʿah bint ʿUkk ibn ʿAdnān.
Ibn Isḥāq (2) stated: Anmār is the forefather of Khathʿam and Bajīlah, the tribe of Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Bajalī (3). He added that they migrated south and settled in Yemen.
Ibn Hishām said: The people of Yemen maintain that Anmār was the son of Irāsh ibn Liḥyān ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Ghawth ibn Nabit ibn Mālik ibn Zayd ibn Kahlan ibn Sabaʾ.
I say: The ḥadīth previously cited about Sabaʾ supports this, and Allah knows best.
They further relate that Muḍar was the first to chant the camel-driver’s song (ḥidāʾ), for he had a pleasing voice. One day he fell from his camel and sprained his hand, so he began to cry, “O my hand, O my hand!” whereupon the camels quickened their pace (4).
Ibn Isḥāq (5) said: Muḍar ibn Nizār fathered two sons, Ilyās and ʿAylān. Ilyās in turn begot Mudrika, Tābikha, and Qamʿa; their mother was Khindif bint ʿImrān ibn al-Ḥāf ibn Quḍāʿah.
Ibn Isḥāq added: Mudrika’s given name was ʿĀmir and Tābikha’s was ʿAmr. The two once hunted some game; while they were cooking it, the camels bolted. ʿĀmir pursued them until he caught up, while his brother stayed behind to cook. When they returned and told their father, he said to ʿĀmir, “You are Mudrika (the one who overtakes),” and to ʿAmr, “You are Tābikha (the cook).” (6)
He continued: As for Qamʿa, the genealogists of Muḍar claim that Khuzāʿah descend from ʿAmr ibn Luḥay ibn Qamʿa ibn Ilyās (7). I say: The stronger view is that they are merely related to him, not his direct offspring, and that they belong to Ḥimyar, as mentioned earlier (8). Allah knows best.
Ibn Isḥāq said: Mudrika begot Khuzaymah and Hudhayl, their mother being a woman of Quḍāʿah.
From Khuzaymah came Kinānah.
