Sirat Ibn Hisham 372

[ اسْمُ الشَّمَّاسِ وَشَيْءٌ عَنْهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَاسْمُ شَمَّاسٍ: عُثْمَانُ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ شَمَّاسًا، لِأَنَّ شَمَّاسًا مِنْ الشَّمَامِسَةِ، قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ جَمِيلًا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ جَمَالِهِ، فَقَالَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، وَكَانَ خَالَ شَمَّاسٍ: أَنَا آتِيكُمْ بِشَمَّاسِ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ، فَجَاءَ بِابْنِ أُخْتِهِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، فَسُمِّيَ شَمَّاسًا. فِيمَا ذَكَرَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَغَيْرُهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَهَبَّارُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَسَدِ بْنِ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ؛ وَأَخُوهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ؛ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ؛ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ؛ وَعَيَّاشُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ

Translation

✧ [The name of Shammās and something about him] Ibn Hishām said: The name of Shammās was ʿUthmān. He was called Shammās only because a shammās (deacon) from among the deacons came to Makkah in the Jāhiliyyah, and he was handsome, so people marveled at his beauty. ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah, who was the maternal uncle of Shammās, said: 'I will bring you a shammās more handsome than him.' So he brought his sister's son, ʿUthmān b. ʿUthmān, and he was named Shammās. This is according to what Ibn Shihāb and others mentioned. Ibn Isḥāq said: Habbār b. Sufyān b. ʿAbd al-Asad b. Hilāl b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm; and his brother ʿAbd Allāh b. Sufyān; and Hishām b. Abī Ḥudhayfah b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm; and Salamah b. Hishām b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm; and ʿAyyāsh b. Abī Rabīʿah b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm.
