Banu Hashim
From Free net encyclopedia
Banu Hashim (Arabic: بنو هاشم, clan of Hashim or childern of Hashim) is a clan in the Quraish tribe. The Islamic prophet Muhammad was a member of this clan; his great-grandfather was Hashim for whom the clan is named. Members of this clan are also called Hashemites.
The Banu Hashim were one of the most important clans in the Quraish tribe at the time of Muhammad's birth, but it was not one of the richest. Its importance came from its role as the maintaners of the Kaaba. During Muhammad's early prophethood, his uncle, Abu Talib was head of the clan, and he subsequently faced heavy pressure from the rest of the Quraish tribe to keep his nephew in check. Despite this, Abu Talib never stopped supporting Muhammad. Abu Talib's son Ali was the first child Muslim and husband of Muhammad's fourth daughter, Fatima Zahra. Abu Talib was amongst the first Muslims according to Shia, but according to Sunnis, he never said the Kalima and accordingly died a non-Muslim.
