In the introduction to The Sealed Nectar
Abd Shams is one of the four branches of Abd Manaf, along with Nawfal, al-Muttalib and Hashim 5. When Abd al-Muttalib's arkah was returned to him, Nawfal ibn Abd Manaf allied with Banu Abd Shams against Banu Hashim. Then Khuza'a allied with Banu Hashim against Banu Abd Shams and Nawfal 6 7. The 'uqab, that is, the carrying of the national banner, was among the offices of Quraysh held by the Umayyads of Abd Shams 8.
