Overview
The daughters of Tariq
Al-Ma'mun asked him about "the daughters of Tariq" in the verses of Hind bint Utba, and he did not know her lineage. Al-Ma'mun explained that she meant the star, and claimed kinship with it for her beauty. Muhammad said: "A useful point, Commander of the Faithful." Al-Ma'mun then gave him an amber piece that he had been turning in his hand, and he sold it for five thousand dirhams. 1
The year of his death and the details of his lineage need an additional source.
