History
Their progenitor is Abd-al-Dar ibn Qusai ibn Kilab.[1] Historically, this tribe carried the banner in war, and Muhammad continued that tradition. In battles between the Makkans and the Muslims, the banner was frequently carried on both sides by a member of this tribe. Known to be the custodian of the Kaaba during the period of Jāhiliyyah (Arabic: جَـاهِـلِـيَّـة, 'Ignorance'), and upheld by the Islamic Nabí (Arabic: نَـبِي, Prophet) later on.[2]
