Abd Manaf al-Mughirah ibn Qusayy (Arabic: عبد مناف ٱلمغيرة بن قصي, ʿAbd Manāf al-Mughīrah ibn Quṣayy) was a Qurayshi and great-great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. His father was Quṣai ibn Kilāb. His name, meaning slave of Manaf, relates to the pre-Islamic deity Manaf.

Biography

Abd Manaf was already honoured in his father's lifetime. However, Qusai preferred his first-born Abd ad-Dar and invested him with all his rights, powers, and transferred the ownership of the House of Assembly shortly before his death. After Quṣayy's death however, Abd Manaf contested this inheritance. He was supported by their nephew Asad, their uncle Zuhrah ibn Kilab, their father's uncle Taym ibn Murrah (of Banu Taym), and al-Harith ibn Fihr, while Abd ad-Dar was supported by their cousins Makhzum, Sahm, Jumah, their uncle Adi and their families. The effects of this conflict continued among their descendants, especially under Abd Manaf's son Hashim and affected the internal history of Mecca right up to Muhammad's time.

After his death, he was buried in Jannatul Mualla cemetery in Mecca.[citation needed]

Family

Abdu Manaf married several women of influential tribes, through which he had following children.

1. Atikah bint Murrah al-Hilaliyya, from Bani Qays Aylan

2. Rayta bint Ku'ayb al-Thaqafiyya, from Banu Thaqif of Ta'if

3. Waqidah bint Amr al-Amiriyya
