Ancestry

[edit]

In Arabic, the word "ibn" or "bin" is equivalent to "son of." This is occasionally to connect generations of ancestors.[2] Hamzah ibn Wahas's entire name details his lineage to the rift between the Sunni and Shia groups.

His full name is Hamzah ibn Wahas bin Abu Tayeb Daoud bin Abdul Rahman bin Abi Al-Fatik Abdullah bin Dawood bin Suleiman bin Abdullah Al-Reza bin Musa bin Abdullah Al-Kamil bin Al-Hassan Muthanna bin Hassan Al-Sabt bin Ali ibn Abi Talib.[3][4][5][6]
