An Account of the Disagreement That Occurred Among Quraysh after Quṣayy
ذِكْرُ مَا جَرَى مِنْ اخْتِلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ بَعْدَ قُصَيٍّ [ وَحِلْفِ الْمُطَيَّبِينَ ] [ الْخِلَافُ بَيْنَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدِّارِ وَبَنِي أَعْمَامِهِمْ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ قُصَيَّ بْنَ كِلَابٍ هَلَكَ، فَأَقَامَ أَمْرَهُ فِي قَوْمِهِ وَفِي غَيْرِهِمْ بَنُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ، فَاخْتَطُّوا مَكَّةَ رِبَاعًا - بَعْدَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَطَعَ لِقَوْمِهِ بِهَا - فَكَانُوا يَقْطَعُونَهَا فِي قَوْمِهِمْ وَفِي غَيْرِهِمْ مِنْ حُلَفَائِهِمْ وَيَبِيعُونَهَا؛ فَأَقَامَتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قُرَيْشٌ مَعَهُمْ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ اخْتِلَافٌ وَلَا تَنَازُعٌ، ثُمَّ إنَّ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ قُصَيِّ عَبْدَ شَمْسٍ وَهَاشِمًا وَالْمُطَّلِبَ وَنَوْفَلًا أَجَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا بِأَيْدِي بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ بْنِ قُصَيٍّ مِمَّا كَانَ قُصَيٌّ جَعَلَ إلَى عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، مِنْ الْحِجَابَةِ وَاللِّوَاءِ وَالسِّقَايَةِ وَالرِّفَادَةِ، وَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُمْ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ لِشَرَفِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفَضْلِهِمْ فِي قَوْمِهِمْ؛ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قُرَيْشٌ، فَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مَعَ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ عَلَى رَأْيِهِمْ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ لِمَكَانِهِمْ فِي قَوْمِهِمْ، وَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مَعَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، يَرَوْنَ أَنْ لَا يُنْزَعَ مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانَ قُصَيٌّ جَعَلَ إلَيْهِمْ. [ مَنْ نَاصَرُوا بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، وَمَنْ نَاصَرُوا بَنِي أَعْمَامِهِمْ ] فَكَانَ صَاحِبَ أَمْرِ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ عَبْدُ شَمْسِ بْنُ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَسَنَّ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ أَمْرِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ عَامِرُ بْنُ هَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الدَّارِ. فَكَانَ بَنُو أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قُصَيٍّ، وَبَنُو زُهْرَةَ بْنِ كِلَابٍ، وَبَنُو تَيْمِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَبَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، مَعَ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ. وَكَانَ بَنُو مَخْزُومِ بْنِ يَقَظَةَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، وَبَنُو سَهْمِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هُصَيْصِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَبَنُو جُمَحَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هُصَيْصِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَبَنُو عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، مَعَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، وَخَرَجَتْ عَامِرُ بْنُ لُؤَيٍّ وَمُحَارِبُ بْنُ فِهْرٍ، فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ. فَعَقَدَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ حِلْفًا مُؤَكَّدًا عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَتَخَاذَلُوا، وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا مَا بَلَّ بَحْرَ صُوفَةَ.
Translation
✧ Mention of what occurred of the disagreement of Quraysh after Qusayy [and the confederacy of al-Muṭayyabūn] [the dispute between Banū ʿAbd al-Dār and their cousins] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then Qusayy b. Kilāb died, and his sons after him maintained his authority over his people and others. They allotted Makkah into quarters—after he had previously apportioned it to his people—so they would divide them among their people and among others of their allies, and sell them. Quraysh remained upon that with them, there being no disagreement or dispute among them. Then Banū ʿAbd Manāf b. Qusayy—ʿAbd Shams, Hāshim, al-Muṭṭalib, and Nawfal—agreed to take what was in the hands of Banū ʿAbd al-Dār b. Qusayy of what Qusayy had entrusted to ʿAbd al-Dār: the ḥijābah (guardianship of the Kaʿbah), the liwāʾ (standard), the siqāyah (providing water to pilgrims), and the rifādah (provisioning the pilgrims). They considered that they were more entitled to that than them because of their nobility over them and their excellence among their people. So at that Quraysh split: one faction sided with Banū ʿAbd Manāf in their view, considering them more deserving of it than Banū ʿAbd al-Dār because of their standing among their people; and another faction sided with Banū ʿAbd al-Dār, holding that what Qusayy had entrusted to them should not be taken away from them. [Those who supported Banū ʿAbd al-Dār and those who supported their cousins] The leader of Banū ʿAbd Manāf was ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf, because he was the eldest of Banū ʿAbd Manāf. The leader of Banū ʿAbd al-Dār was ʿĀmir b. Hāshim b. ʿAbd Manāf b. ʿAbd al-Dār. Banū Asad b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. Qusayy, Banū Zuhrah b. Kilāb, Banū Taym b. Murrah b. Kaʿb, and Banū al-Ḥārith b. Fihr b. Mālik b. al-Naḍr were with Banū ʿAbd Manāf. Banū Makhzūm b. Yaqaẓah b. Murrah, Banū Sahm b. ʿAmr b. Huṣayṣ b. Kaʿb, Banū Jumaḥ b. ʿAmr b. Huṣayṣ b. Kaʿb, and Banū ʿAdī b. Kaʿb were with Banū ʿAbd al-Dār. ʿĀmir b. Luʾayy and Muḥārib b. Fihr went out and were not with either of the two parties. So each group bound themselves with a solemn covenant that they would not fail one another and would not surrender one another as long as the sea wets a woolen tuft.
