“From al-Shafi'i: More than one person from the people of knowledge and truthfulness from the people of Madinah and Makkah, from the tribes of Quraysh and from others, informed me, and some of them narrated the hadith more fully than others, and some of them added to others in the hadith: that when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab compiled the registers he said: I will begin with the Banu Hashim, for I was present when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave to them and to the Banu al-Muttalib. If someone of the Hashimi was older, he put him before the Muttalibi, and if someone of the Muttalibi was older, he put him before the Hashimi. He arranged the registers accordingly and gave them the stipend of a single tribe. Then 'Abd Shams and Nawfal became equal to him in lineage. He said: 'Abd Shams is the full brother of the Prophet ﷺ, unlike Nawfal, so he put them first, then he called the Banu Nawfal after them. Then 'Abd al-'Uzza and 'Abd al-Dar became equal to him, and he said concerning the Banu Asad ibn 'Abd al-'Uzza that they are the in-laws of the Prophet ﷺ, and that among them they are from the Mutayyibun. Some of them said: They are of the alliance of al-Fudul, and in it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It was also said: He mentioned a precedence and put them ahead of the Banu 'Abd al-Dar. Then he called the Banu 'Abd al-Dar after them. Then Zuhrah stood alone, so he called her to follow 'Abd al-Dar. Then Taym and Makhzum became equal to him, and he said concerning the Banu Taym that they are of the alliance of al-Fudul and the Mutayyibun, and in it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It was said he mentioned a precedence, and it was said he mentioned a marriage relation, so he put them ahead of Makhzum. Then he called Makhzum after them. Then Sahm, Jumah and 'Adi ibn Ka'b became equal to him. It was said to him: Begin with 'Adi. He said: Rather, I will place myself where I am, for Islam entered and our affair and the affair of the Banu Sahm are one. But look at the Banu Jumah and Sahm. It was said: He put the Banu Jumah first. Then he called the Banu Sahm. The register of 'Adi and Sahm was mixed like a single call. When his call reached them clearly, he said a loud takbir. Then he called and said: Praise be to Allah who brought me to my share from His Messenger. Then he called the Banu 'Amir ibn Lu'ay. Al-Shafi'i said: Some of them said: When Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah al-Fihri saw those who were placed ahead of him, he said: Do you call all these before me? He said: O Abu 'Ubaydah, be patient as I was patient, and speak to your people; whoever among them puts you ahead of himself, I will not prevent him. As for me and the Banu 'Adi, we will put you ahead of ourselves if you wish. Then he put Mu'awiyah after the Banu al-Harith ibn Fihr, and he separated between 'Abd Manaf and Asad ibn 'Abd al-'Uzza. Something occurred between the Banu Sahm and 'Adi concerning al-Mahdi, and they separated. So al-Mahdi ordered that the Banu 'Adi be placed before Sahm and Jumah for precedence among them.”
