Summary
Of Banu Jumah; he emigrated to Abyssinia with his sons Janada and Jabir and his wife Hasana, and perished in Umar's caliphate. 1
In the Abyssinian emigrants chapter
Ibn Ishaq names him of Banu Jumah with his sons Janada and Jabir and their mother Hasana, saying he perished with his two sons in Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him)'s caliphate. 1 He places their brother by their mother Shurahbil ibn Hasana (may God be pleased with him) with them, counting six men of Banu Jumah in this section. 1
Tribe
He belongs, per Ibn Ishaq, to Banu Jumah 1
Source notes and markers of doubt
- Ibn Ishaq counts "six men" for this Banu Jumah section (p. 8); the tally works out with Hatib, Hattab, Sufyan, Janada, Jabir and Shurahbil, leaving aside Hatib's two sons who came in the two ships with their mother.
- Sufyan's lineage "ibn Ma'mar ibn Habib" meets Hatib's "ibn al-Harith ibn Ma'mar ibn Habib", which would make him Hatib's uncle by the printed genealogy — but the text mentions no kinship between them.
