Then (1) Qusay handed over the offices that had been in his charge—the custodianship and guardianship of the Kaʿbah, the banner, the Council House, the rifādah (feeding the pilgrims) and the siqāyah (providing them with water)—to his son ʿAbd al-Dār, as will be set out in detail below. He confirmed the right to grant permission for departure from Muzdalifah in the clan of Banū ʿAdwān; he left the nasīʾ (postponement of a sacred month) with Fuqaym; and he maintained the ijāzah, that is, the signal to break camp (an-nafr), with Ṣūfah (2), just as has already been explained regarding the functions they had previously held.
Ibn Isḥāq said:
Qusay fathered four sons and two daughters—ʿAbd Manāf, ʿAbd al-Dār, ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā, ʿAbd, and the two girls Takhmur and Barra. Their mother was Hubbāʾ, daughter of Hulayy ibn Hubshiyyah ibn Salūl ibn Kaʿb ibn ʿAmr of Khuzāʿah (3). Hulayy was the last man of Khuzāʿah to hold charge of the Sacred House, and it was from his hand that Qusay ibn Kilāb assumed guardianship of it.
Ibn Isḥāq (4) also said:
ʿAbd Manāf ibn Qusay begot four sons: Hāshim, ʿAbd Shams, al-Muṭṭalib—whose mother was ʿĀtikah daughter of Murrah ibn Hilāl—and Nawfal, whose mother was Wāqidah daughter of ʿAmr al-Māzinīyyah.
Ibn Hishām adds:
ʿAbd Manāf likewise had Abū ʿAmr, Tumāḍir, Qulābah, Ḥayyah, Rayṭah, Umm al-Akhtham, and Umm Sufyān (5).
Ibn Hishām continues:
Hāshim ibn ʿAbd Manāf fathered four sons and five daughters: ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, Asad, Abū Ṣayfi, Naḍlah; and al-Shifāʾ, Khālidah, Ḍuʿayfah, Ruqayyah, and Ḥayyah. The mother of ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib and Ruqayyah was Salmā daughter of ʿAmr ibn Zayd ibn Labīd ibn Khidāsh ibn ʿĀmir ibn Ghanm ibn ʿAdī ibn al-Najjār of Madinah, and he listed the mothers of the remaining children.
He said further:
ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib had ten sons and six daughters: al-ʿAbbās, Ḥamzah, ʿAbdullāh, Abū Ṭālib—whose given name was ʿAbd Manāf, not ʿImrān—al-Zubayr, al-Ḥārith (6), his first-born and the one after whom he was nicknamed, Jaḥl (some say Ḥajl), who was called al-Ghaydaq because of his abundant generosity, al-Muqawwim, Ḍirār, and Abū Lahab, whose name was ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā; together with Ṣafiyyah, Umm Ḥakīm al-Bayḍāʾ (7), ʿĀtikah, Ummaymah, Arwā, and Barra. He also recorded the names of their mothers and went on to say:
The mother of ʿAbdullāh, Abū Ṭālib, al-Zubayr, and all the daughters—except Ṣafiyyah—was Fāṭimah daughter of ʿAmr ibn ʿĀʾidh ibn ʿImrān ibn Makhzūm ibn Yaqaẓah ibn Murrah ibn Kaʿb ibn Luʾayy ibn Ghālib ibn Fihr ibn Mālik ibn al-Naḍr ibn Kinānah ibn Khuzaymah ibn Mudrikah ibn Ilyās ibn Muḍar ibn Nizār ibn Maʿadd ibn ʿAdnān.
He added:
ʿAbdullāh fathered Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the master of the children of Adam. His mother was Āminah daughter of Wahb ibn ʿAbd Manāf ibn Zuhrah ibn Kilāb ibn Murrah ibn Kaʿb ibn Luʾayy, and he went on to mention further details.
