Genealogy of Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Some Accounts of His Forefathers and Ancestors
ابْنُ لُؤَيٍّ لُؤَيٌّ: بِضَمِّ اللَّامِ وَيُهْمَزُ وَيُسَهَّلُ: وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي الْمَنْقُولِ مِنْهُ عَلَى أَقْوَالٍ: أَحَدُهَا: أَنَّهُ تَصْغِيرُ لَأْيٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي اللَّأْيِ مَا هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: ابْنُ الْأَنْبَارِيِّ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْخُشَنِيُّ: اللَّأْيُ الثَّوْرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ. وَقَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ: اللَّأْيُ: الْبَقَرَةُ قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ أَعْرَابِيًّا يَقُولُ: بِكُمْ لَأْيُكَ هَذِهِ؟ وَقَالَ السُّهَيْلِيُّ: اللَّأْيُ: الْبُطْءُ بِضَمِّ الْبَاءِ مَهْمُوزًا ضِدُّ الْأَنَاةِ وَتَرْكِ الْعَجَلَةِ. الثَّانِي: أَنَّهُ مَنْقُولٌ مِنْ لِوَاءِ الْجَيْشِ. الثَّالِثُ: أَنَّهُ مَنْقُولٌ مِنْ لِوَيِ الرَّمْلِ الْمَقْصُورِ: قَالَهُمَا ابْنُ دُرَيْدٍ. وَيُكَنَّى أَبَا كَعْبٍ، وَأُمُّ لُؤَيٍّ عَاتِكَةُ ابْنَةُ يَخْلُدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، وَهِيَ أُولَى الْعَوَاتِكِ اللَّوَاتِي وَلَدْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَلَهُ أَخَوَانِ، أَحَدُهُمَا تَيْمُ الْأَدْرَمِ، وَالدَّرَمُ نُقْصَانٌ فِي الذَّقْنِ، قِيلَ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ نَاقِصَ اللَّحْيِ، وَالْآخَرُ قَيْسٌ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، وَآخِرُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي زَمَنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَسْرِيِّ، فَبَقِيَ مِيرَاثُهُ لَا يُدْرَى مَنْ يَسْتَحِقُّهُ. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّ أُمَّهُمْ سَلْمَى بِنْتُ عَمْرِو بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، وَهُوَ لِحْيُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ. ( يَخْلُدُ: بِفَتْحِ الْيَاءِ تَحْتَهَا نُقْطَتَانِ، وَسُكُونِ الْخَاءِ الْمُعْجَمَةِ، وَبَعْدَ اللَّامِ دَالٌ مُهْمَلَةٌ ).
Translation
✧ Son of Luʾayy Luʾayy: with ḍammah on the lām, and it is hamzated and may be softened. There is difference of opinion regarding what it is derived from, according to several statements: One of them: that it is a diminutive of laʾy, and there is difference of opinion regarding what laʾy is. Ibn al-Anbārī, along with a group including Abū Dharr al-Khushanī, said: al-laʾy is the wild bull. Abū Ḥanīfah said: al-laʾy is the cow. He said: I heard a Bedouin say: "How much is this cow of yours?" Al-Suhaylī said: al-laʾy is slowness, with ḍammah on the bāʾ, hamzated, the opposite of deliberateness and avoidance of haste. The second: that it is derived from liwāʾ al-jaysh (the banner of the army). The third: that it is derived from liwā al-raml al-maqṣūr (the curved sand dune). Both of these were stated by Ibn Durayd. His kunyah is Abū Kaʿb. The mother of Luʾayy is ʿĀtikah bt. Yakhlud b. al-Naḍr b. Kinānah, and she is the first of the ʿAwātik who gave birth to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Quraysh. He had two brothers: one of them is Taym al-Adram, and al-daram is a deficiency in the chin; it is said that he was lacking in the beard. The other is Qays, and none of them remains. The last of them to die was in the time of Khālid b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Qasrī, and his inheritance remained, with no one knowing who was entitled to it. It is said that their mother was Salmā bt. ʿAmr b. Rabīʿah, who is Luḥayy b. Ḥārithah al-Khuzāʿī. (Yakhlud: with fatḥah on the yāʾ, which has two dots beneath it, and sukūn on the dotted khāʾ, and after the lām an undotted dāl).
